BERNARD BARUCH (G2) QUOTES
Todd Pletcher, winning trainer of Dominus (No. 4): “We kind of anticipated he would be on the lead. The fractions were comfortable and he relaxed nicely. Things went just like we hoped. I would have been disappointed if he’d gotten beat after the [48 half]. There are tons of options. He’s still obviously a very nice dirt horse. It puts us in a position to pursue a lot of options.”
Julien Leparoux, winning jockey aboard Dominus (No. 4): “He was the only speed in the race, he just galloped easy, broke easy, and it was pretty easy for him. It was very nice for me at the end. He’s a nice horse. First time on the grass, he was relaxed. He ran very big today. He’s a big horse. He’s got this long stride, but when you ask him he’s pretty light on himself, so hopefully we’ll keep going like this and win more big ones.”
