JOSEPH A. GIMMA (NYB) QUOTES
Jose Lezcano, winning jockey aboard Matchmadeinheaven (No. 12): "She's still a baby, and every horse that came to her she was backing up, backing up. When I got to the quarter pole, I swung out and she took off like she was breaking from the gate. She's a very nice filly and she'll get better with more racing."
Penny Hallman, winning owner and breeder of Matchmadeinheaven (No. 12): "It was my father [Seymour Cohen's] mare, Open Marriage, and she was our foundation broodmare and used to have a lot of nice horses, Chasin' Wimmin, Pentelis, and See More Spirit, who is named after my dad. The mare died when this foal was born, and that's kind of where we got the name, Matchmadeinheaven, and it was also named after my [late] parents, who are not with me but are always with me."
