HONORABLE MISS (G2) QUOTES
Richard Dutrow Jr., winning trainer of C C’s Pal (No. 3): “It was awful quick up front. We wanted to save ground around the turn. She can lead, stalk ... she fired another bullet. The instructions [to jockey Junior Alvarado] were outrun the inside horses, save ground around the turn and find a seam turning for home.”
What’s next?
“Let her relax and let her figure out what’s next. Right now, we’ll keep her running short.”
Junior Alvarado, winning jockey aboard C C’s Pal (No. 3): “This filly is just amazing. It’s a little easier for you when you ride this kind of horse. Rick Dutrow really had her ready, too.
“My filly has enough speed to be close if they are going slow, or if they’re going fast I know I’ll be in a good spot. That’s pretty much what happened. They went real, real fast, and I was in a nice spot saving ground. She really gave me a nice kick at the end.”
