DEARLY PRECIOUS QUOTES

 

Tony Dutrow, winning trainer of Singlet (No. 4), by telephone: “Going into today’s race I felt she had the talent to compete, but hadn’t been tested for class. These were better horses she was facing today, and for her to take them on and be competitive proved something. I really hadn’t looked beyond today, but I think we’ll leave her in New York and look at something like the Comely [Grade 3, $250,000, April 7] at a mile.”

 

Cornelio Velasquez, winning jockey aboard Singlet (No. 4): “I had the best position; I stayed third, and at the top of the stretch I asked her and had a lot of horse. The other horse (No. 1 Corderosa) ran big, too. She was tough, but my filly was better.”
