NYSS QUOTES

 

Cupecoy’s Joy Division

 

Eric Reed, winning trainer of I Bet Toni Knows (No. 9): “She ran like we were hoping she would. The seventh-eighths worked great, and Junior [Alvarado] was back on her. He really understands her. We tried her long, and she just levels out at the end. This is the perfect distance.”

 

Junior Alvarado, winning jockey aboard I Bet Toni Knows (No. 9): “She broke a little slow, but after that she was in the bridle pretty much the whole way. I couldn’t have asked for a better trip than that. When I turned for home, she went into another gear for me.”

 

Spectacular Bid Division

 

Jeremiah Englehart, winning trainer of King Kreesa (No. 11): “At the end of his 2-year-old year, he was breezing real well at Finger Lakes. Then when he came down here he started to regress, but then when I put him on the turf he got even better. I don’t think distance will be a problem for him, and I think he can still improve. Irad [Ortiz] put him in a beautiful spot today, and it was all over from there.”

 

Irad Ortiz, Jr., winning jockey aboard King Kreesa (No. 11): “He broke good, and I just put my hands down and tried not to fight him too much. When I asked him in the stretch, he responded nicely.”
