| Saturday, November 23, 2013 NYSS Great White Way Division Quotes Tom Albertrani, winning trainer of Empire Dreams (No. 1): "He broke a little flat-footed. I don't think he cared to be in there like that. He does get a little claustrophobic, even in the paddock. When he's in tight quarters, he just doesn't like it. Once he got clear, you knew [Irad] had a lot of horse to make up the difference turning for home. I would imagine he would stay here [for the winter]. There's going to be some nice New York-bred races for him later on here. He definitely wants to go longer." Irad Ortiz, Jr., winning jockey aboard Empire Dreams (No. 1): "When I put him on the outside, I just had to hit him one time. He was much the best in the race."
