BOUWERIE (NYB) QUOTES
Tom Bush, winning trainer of Beautiful But Blue (No. 1): “We’re real tickled. We love winning for Mary and Chester Broman. They’re real terrific owners.”
“She really does have speed, so she’s a little dangerous. We think she ran very well on turf [fifth in the Thirty Flags overnight stakes] the other day. She got away poorly, it was a tough race, and she closed. It was such a different experience for her. But in all likelihood, we’ll stay on the dirt.”
Junior Alvarado, winning jockey aboard Beautiful But Blue (No. 1): “A lot depended on the break; there was a lot of speed in the race. When they opened the gate, she broke well and I got a clear spot outside where she was comfortable. She did everything pretty much by herself. She pulled me the whole way. When we turned for home and I asked her, she responded right away. Tom had her really ready for this race.”
MIKE LEE (NYB) QUOTES
Rick Dutrow, Jr., winning trainer of Willy Beamin (No. 6): “It’s turned out to be a good claim, and I don’t think we’re done yet, either. When you claim one for $25,000 you hope to be able to win for $25,000, especially nowadays with the way the money is. He’s been very good to us so far.”
“We’re going to find out if he can win [going to two turns] as his next start will be at
Mike Luzzi, winning jockey aboard Willy Beamin (No. 6): “It went as the paper read – if they came back to me, I had a chance. I had a lot of horse turning for home. Typical Dutrow horse, they finish pretty good.”
