SANTA ANITA JUVENILE QUOTES
JOCKEY QUOTES
MARIO GUTIERREZ, WAKE UP NICK, WINNER: “It worked out perfect today. I thought that Baffert’s horse was going to go for the lead and my plan was to have us sit close but not to rush him. I did the best I could and these are babies, I wanted to save all I could for the end. I know him well, I work him all the time in the mornings so I know what he likes and I know what he doesn’t like; we’re a good pair.”
JOE TALAMO, STORY TO TELL, SECOND: “This is a very nice horse.

LANDALUCE STAKES QUOTES
JOCKEY QUOTES
MARTIN GARCIA, ENCHANTING LADY, WINNER: “Her last time out, it was too short for her. I had the outside post in here so I could do what I wanted and pick the best position for her. I just started chasing the filly on the lead and when I asked her, she just took off. She’s a really good filly. She got beat by (Seduire) last time out. Seduire is quicker but my filly wants to go longer. I always work her in the mornings, too, so I know her well.”

SUMMERTIME OAKS QUOTES
JOCKEY QUOTES
MARTIN GARCIA, JOJO WARRIOR, WINNER: “She’s been running against good horses and she wants to run all day. I knew that I had the rail but she broke well and I put her on the lead and she was comfortable with that. I took advantage of it. She’s really sharp and when I asked her to go, she responded.”
TYLER BAZE, LIVE FOR NOW, SECOND: “She was so full of run at the half-mile pole and I was just sitting in a box there. If I could have got her out anywhere around the half or the three-eighths, I think she wins.
