SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO STAKES QUOTES

JOCKEY QUOTES

RAFAEL BEJARANO, BOURBON BAY, WINNER: “It looked like a couple of horses would show speed and that’s what happened. I tried to keep my horse relaxed down the hill and into the first (Club House) turn. At the half-mile, Martin Garcia moved with his horse (Skellytown) and so I decided to follow him. He moved on the rail and kept my horse outside because I didn’t want to get him stopped. I knew my horse would finish strong, but he got a little tired at the wire.”

SANTA BARBARA HANDICAP QUOTES

JOCKEY QUOTES

RAFAEL BEJARANO, TUSCAN EVENING, WINNER: “I have to give all the credit to Jerry (Hollendorfer). This is a very special day. My mother is here from Peru and to have this filly win four times at longer distances, it is unbelievable. She keeps improving every time. She relaxed so well the whole race and I never hit her today. She was full of run at the finish.”

SAN SIMEON HANDICAP QUOTES

JOCKEY QUOTES

JOEL ROSARIO, MR GRUFF, Winner: “I knew I had to get a good break. My horse and another outside of me were the only speed. I let the other horses on the outside go for a little while, then after that I took the lead. He’s running good, and he’s a nice horse.”

TRAINER QUOTES

RON ELLIS, MR GRUFF, WINNER: “Joel (Rosario) did a good job. The horse broke a little flat-footed. He didn’t rush him and just kind of let him ease his way up there. It all went as planned after that.”

LAS CIENEGAS HANDICAP QUOTES

JOCKEY QUOTES

JOE TALAMO, UNZIP ME, WINNER: “She’s relaxing so much better now. She had her ears straight up the entire race today, nice and relaxed. I knew Rafael (Bejarano, aboard Czechers) was close because we were going so slow, so around the (5/16 ) turn, I wanted to open up just little to get some breathing room. I threw her a few crosses through the lane just to keep her focused. Her last few races have really been remarkable.”

LA PUENTE STAKES QUOTES

JOCKEY QUOTES

JOE TALAMO, DREAM NETTIE, WINNER: “I had a perfect trip. I knew we were walking up there and I almost made a middle move at the half (mile pole), but I waited and chirped to him at the five-sixteenths and he jumped into the bridle. He just exploded through the stretch.”

LAS FLORES HANDICAP QUOTES

JOCKEY QUOTES

JOEL ROSARIO, MONA DE MOMMA, WINNER: “She ran good. I knew there was speed in the race, so I was patient. I work her in the morning and she has a lot of ability. Today, she showed that ability. She responded really well when I asked her.”

POTRERO GRANDE HANDICAP QUOTES

JOCKEY QUOTES

GARETT GOMEZ, VENTANA, WINNER: “I thought we were having a little too much to do on the front end, as far as the pace of the race was concerned. (Rafael) Bejarano dropped off me just a little bit going into the far turn and we were all able to take a little bit of a breather. When we turned for home he started fighting and Bejarano and I hooked up for the last eighth of a mile. He showed a lot of heart and a lot of gameness. First time I’ve been on him and he ran a really good race.”
