POKER (G3) QUOTES
Leanna Willaford, assistant to winner trainer Bill Mott, of Clear Attempt (No. 6): “This race wasn’t setting up to be terribly, terribly tough, and cutting him back a little bit seemed like the thing to do. Bill just takes his time [with his horses]. He’s marinating them. We’ve always liked this horse. He’s been one we aspired to win a stakes with.”
Jose Lezcano, winning jockey aboard Clear Attempt (No. 6): “My horse broke very good. He was very comfortable, he didn’t pull me. When the favorite moved outside, I moved with him and I kept waiting until the quarter-pole to really ask him. When I asked him, he gave me a good kick and finished good.”
