EDWIN MALDONADO, CYCLOMETER, WINNER: “Before they scratched the four horse (Wild Dude) I was going to see how my horse broke from the gate and take it from there. When that horse scratched, it turned into a match race between me and the one (Wine Police) so I just figured I would let him run the way he wanted.”

VICTOR ESPINOZA, WINE POLICE, SECOND: “I wish I could have been outside (of Cyclometer and Edwin Maldonado) because it would have been easier to get position. He pressured me throughout the race so I decided to wait and attack him in the end.

BRICE BLANC, MISS SERENDIPITY, WINNER: “I tracked Emollient our last time out and my mare backed up on me so I tracked her this time as well, but I was able to ease up today. My mare has been improving with each race. She just needed to get acclimated. She was aggressive her first few races and they wanted to try and change that style. It took us a little while to work on her but now she’s acclimating. I watched her replays before I ever rode her and she’s always impressed me”
ROSIE NAPRAVNIK, EMOLLIENT, SECOND: “She felt great.

JOCKEY QUOTES

TYLER BAZE, FIRE WITH FIRE, WINNER: “I can do whatever I want with him, he’s very classy. It’s a confidence you get with horses. I know he’s going to be there when I ask him and he’s really shown me, from last year to this year, that he likes being out there on the lead. I thought I would be laying third today to Segway and Bright Thought, but it just didn’t work out that way. He relaxed so nice and I didn’t know what I was going to have left in the tank, but I knew he would give me something.
