FORT MARCY (G3) QUOTES

 

Robbie Medina, assistant to winning trainer Shug McGaughey, of Boisterous (No. 5): “He likes it with a little give in the ground. We originally were disappointed in his last race [fourth at Gulfstream Park] because he didn’t finish, but looking further at it, he made an early move and then flattened out. That type of turf course with the short stretch doesn’t suit him; he prefers making that one run through the stretch. We’ll look next at the [Woodford Reserve] Manhattan [Grade 1, Belmont Park, June 9].”

 

Alan Garcia, winning jockey aboard Boisterous (No. 5): “It was a slow pace. I know my horse can run the last part, so I wanted to be patient. I was waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting, and turning for home I let him run and he did really well.”
