JOHN VELAZQUEZ FIRST MOUNT BACK QUOTES

 

John Velazquez, on his first mount back (4^th aboard Lucky Friend in the 5^th Race at Saratoga on Wednesday) after breaking his collarbone in a spill at Churchill Downs on June 16: “I was a little bit anxious to be out there. Once I got there, it was very good. It’s wonderful to be here and happy. With the way the fans reacted, it was very nice. [Physically], I felt very good. Actually, I am better than I thought I was going to be after the race. I greatly appreciate the way the fans reacted. I am happy to be here. It feels great to be here.”
