| Saturday, October 19, 2013 Ticonderoga Quotes Rick Violette, winning trainer of Effie Trinket (No. 1): "How game is she? She can do anything; she has won on the lead, she has won stalking, she's made one big run to get it. Here she kind of stalked and had to wait; everyone was packing her in. She's a small horse, so she needed just a small hole to get through. [Rajiv Maragh aboard runner-up No. 2 Sally's Dream] did a good job; he had us kind of hemmed in. She just battled back and put a nose in front. It was very, very cool." Luis Saez, winning jockey aboard Effie Trinket (No. 1): "She's a very, very nice filly. I was very nervous [in the stretch]. I knew I had horse but I didn't have room. I had to wait and wait, and when I saw Rajiv [Maragh] on my outside [aboard Sally's Dream] I thought he was going to beat me, but when I changed my whip to the left hand she responded; she loved it. I knew she won [the photo]."
