DAMON RUNYON (NYB) QUOTES

 

Jimmy Jerkens, winning trainer of Beau de Beaupre (No. 3): “He’s always acted like he could run, but now he seems to be getting stronger. The horse came out of there running, and I was glad to see the other horse [Never Right Joey] take the lead so he had a target. I told Alan [Garcia] he shies away when a horse comes to his outside, so I said to be ready with his left hand, and he was. We’ll probably leave him in New York as he seems to like the colder weather.”

 

Alan Garcia, winning jockey aboard Beau de Beaupre (No. 3): “Jimmy [Jerkens] has done a great job with this colt. What I wanted to do today was put him in the right position. On the turn, I had to ask him a couple of time – he’s still a little green – but he came through. He’ll only get better.”
