NEW YORK STALLION SERIES QUOTES
STATEN ISLAND DIVISION QUOTES
John Parisella, winning trainer of Sunny Desert (No. 2): "She's shown that she's versatile. You don't like [troubled starts], but nothing stops her right now. She's special. You don't have many fillies like that. They have that one style, and everything has to come up right. That's what makes her special; things don't have to come up right."
Ramon Dominguez, winning jockey aboard Sunny Desert (No. 2): "I got squeezed between the two horses next to me [at the start] and she was a little bit further back than I thought she'd be, but she was much the best. It's hard to say what her best distance is; I tried to get her going a little earlier, coming off a mile race. But once she gets in gear, she's all business."
THUNDER RUMBLE DIVISION QUOTES
Rudy Rodriguez, winning trainer of Sportswriter (No. 2): "He's been very good since we got him, and he's always trained very, very good. We got very lucky to buy him. He's as solid as they come and tries every time. If they go easy on the lead, he can be on the lead, or he can stay behind. This was a good race for him, and he got the job done."
Javier Castellano, winning jockey aboard Sportswriter (No. 2): "I wanted to time it just right and not move too soon. When I asked him, he responded so well. Today, it worked out perfect for him."
