BOLD RULER (G3) QUOTES
Jonathan Thomas, assistant to Todd Pletcher, winning trainer of Bribon (No. 1): “I was a little worried initially because they didn’t go very quick early. He put himself into the race early, which I think made all the difference. Johnny was able to negotiate from the one hole into an outside trip. Going into the race, we planned to maneuver to the outside if it worked out well.”
John Velazquez, winning rider aboard Bribon (No. 1): “It seemed like nobody wanted to go to the lead. For him to be that close without me asking him, I knew they were going slow. And that was good because I didn’t have to ask him until the quarter-pole. And sure enough, when I did, he went on. When he took the lead today, he was loping along. He’s very honest and he’ll give you everything he can.”
