| Sunday, November 3, 2013 Tempted (G3) Quotes Michael McCarthy, assistant to winning trainer Todd Pletcher, of Stopchargingmaria (No. 5): "The way the race unfolded, it looked like nobody wanted the lead. Javier [Castellano] went ahead and did the right thing by putting this filly in there early. He established position and was able to improve on it from there. She was doing it well within herself. It was a nice little bit of redemption." Javier Castellano, winning jockey aboard Stopchargingmaria (No. 5): "She was the classiest horse in the race. It was a great performance. I was just the pilot today. She drew off so nice and made it look so easy. I used my own judgment and put her in the game, and she was the best." Mike Repole, winning owner of Stopchargingmaria (No. 5): "We haven't gotten a nice one like that for a while here, but I guess I'm back at my home track, Aqueduct, and it seems I do better here than most other places. I'll talk to Todd [Pletcher] about bringing her back for the [Grade 2 Demoiselle, November 30]. She really did it so easy today. She was much the best." |
