Beverly D Stakes Quotes

Beverly D. Stakes Quotes:

Ramon Dominguez (Stacelita): “I had an absolutely wonderful trip. I was able to sit right off the leader. Nice and relaxed – comfortable fractions. Turning for home, once I found a seam on the rail – I had to go for it and she reached for it great.”

Martin Schwartz (owner, Stacelita) “This is my third Beverly D winner. Gorella won in 2006  and Angara won in 2005. Stacelita and Chad Brown are both fantastic. Stacelita has been a magnificent animal since I first saw her and Chad has been a magnificent animal since I first saw him.

Joel Rosario (Dubawi Heights, 2nd) - "She ran great.  I tried to slow it down as much as I possibly could and let her go turning for home.  She responded well but the winner is just so good that our best wasn't good enough today."

Christophe Soumillon (River Jetez, 3rd):“The horse ran well.  I wish we’d had a better position but she tried her best.  I was very proud of her.”

Barbara Amm (owner River Jetez, 3rd): “I’m sorry she didn’t win, but this is the game, isn’t it?  She ran well.  That’s all we can ask.”

Rajiv Maragh (Fantasia, 4th): “She ran good. She settled early and she finished strong.

Junior Alvarado (Éclair de Lune, 6th): "I couldn't ask for a better trip today.  She broke good, she's been missing the break the past few races. When I turned for home I put her in a clear spt outside.  She gave me about 1/16, then was just kind of steady.  It wasn't enough."

Shaun Brodgmohan (Never Retreat, 7th): "Couldn't have asked for a better trip, but she prefers firmer ground and we didn't get that today."

Florent Geroux (Pachattack, 8th): "She tried hard.  It's very hard today to catch the speed, the key is speed."
