Stakes Quotes: Louisiana Champions Day Lassie (Reyina)

Race 7—$100,000 Louisiana Champions Day Lassie

2-year-old fillies, Accredited Louisiana-breds, six furlongs, 20^th running

 

Jockey Jamie Theriot (Reyina, winner): “She was very game. I was whipping her and she wasn’t taking it; she was starting to rebel on me. So I quit whipping her and threw a cross and she dug in. I threw another cross and she dug in again. It came down to a head bob but it looked like I was beat at the sixteenth pole.”

 

Trainer Tony Richey (Reyina, winner): “My advice to Jamie was to ride her. She’ll do what she wants to do.

 

“She ran super, she ran great. When they dig in like that, run to the end, you know, but you can look at her form, she dances every dance, you know. And she’s just tough, she’s a little tough filly.”

 

Jockey Corey Lanerie (Sweet Ruston, second): “I worked her the other morning just an easy three-eighths just to get the feel of her. Mike was just taking a shot. He didn’t know if she was good enough. She ran a winning race last time so he was just taking a shot and I’m glad he did. Unfortunately we just got beat by a head bob.”
