P.G. JOHNSON STAKES QUOTES
Chad Brown, winning trainer of Watsdachances (No. 7): “[Co-owner] Peter [Bradley] has been sending me some pretty nice horses. She had a wide trip. I was looking for cover with a horse like this, and she never found it, but Javier did a good job and I think she’ll move forward off this. I really do. I had just enough time to get her acclimated, and she acted like a pro from Day 1. We paid the fee for the Breeders’ Cup, and we’re in. I’d like to give her one more prep for the Breeders’ Cup [Juvenile Fillies Turf].”
Javier Castellano, winning jockey aboard Watsdachances (No. 7): “I’m very blessed and thankful for this win, and for our little baby boy [Brady Ryan Castellano, born August 28, 2012], and everything going well in my career and in my personal life. It was a pretty good win; she closed well. Chad Brown did a great job with the horse and put me in a good spot. I put her right in behind the other horses. Turning for home, I got her outside and loosened the reins, and she gave me a good kick today.”
