SHAKESPEARE CARESS QUOTES

 

Lisa Lewis, winning trainer of Rosa Salvaje (No. 10): "I think the filly runs good off the layoff. She really had been ready at Woodbine, but we then decided to try to point her for this race, and I trained her very hard coming into it. She was doing terrific, and we thought it was worth coming down here. When she was in Florida, she ran her best race ever and she had a bad foot abscess that took forever to get over. It took a long time to get it right. She has always been a nice filly. She always tries hard. We knew she would come here and run hard. Five-eighths [of a mile] is more of her style than 5 ½ [furlongs]. I was definitely looking for the wire."

 

Alex Solis, winning jockey aboard Rosa Salvaje (No. 10): "I had a great trip. She was really fast out of the gate, like she always is. Another filly had more speed, so I just sat off of her. She was very game down the stretch. She heard the other filly coming the last fifty yards and held her off. Thank God we got there."
