| ** Corrects name of horse in Ortiz quote ** Sunday, January 4, 2015 Ruthless Quotes Michelle Nevin, winning trainer of Paulassilverlining (No. 2): "[Irad Ortiz, Jr.] gave her an excellent ride. On the inner track, you can't give up ground, so you can't come out and around and win. He did the right thing, stayed on the rail, and had patience. [And] once it opened up - she's a fighter. She wants to win. She's not very big - she's small, she's stocky, and she's got that little attitude about her. We'd love to try and stretch her out, to see if she can handle it, but right now she seems to have an affinity for sprinting. We'll think things over." Irad Ortiz, Jr., winning jockey aboard Paulassilverlining (No.2) "I broke good, I just followed the instructions given to me by Michelle [Nevin], which was to 'stay close and wait to make a run'. The horse in front of me [Darling Sky] tried to get out [straightening for home] and I was able to get through." |
