Christophe Clement, winning trainer of favored Summer Front (No. 6): “There was a slow pace, and it was amazing confidence from Ramon [Dominguez]. He ran great. Ramon knows him very well and he does not make many mistakes. There is no plan at the moment, let’s enjoy this. The whole idea is to give him a career as a three year old.”
Ramon Dominguez, winning jockey aboard favored Summer Front (No. 6): “It’s very exciting with this horse, every race he has been relaxing even more and is very mature. I could tell that they were going slow enough in front that there was a little concern because I was on a closer and I didn’t want to push the button any earlier than I had to. At the same time you have to compensate for the slow fractions, I found myself asking him around the 3/8ths pole and the response was there but I was still hoping they would come back because of the firm ground. I could not be happier with the way he finished up and the way he’s improving.”
