| Saturday, November 23, 2013 NYSS Thunder Rumble Division Quotes Todd Pletcher, winning trainer of Comandante (No. 8): "When you have these kinds of opportunities, you have to give them a try. I thought he ran well. Cutting back probably was a good thing for him, and he had a perfect outside stalking trip. It worked out really well." Javier Castellano, winning jockey aboard Comandante (No. 8): "I've ridden this horse three times now and he keeps getting better. The first time, he got beat; the second time, I learned a little more about him, and today he gave me a more powerful kick. Today, I just showed him the whip, and he took off."
