GRADE II, $200,000 SANTA MONICA STAKES QUOTES
JOCKEY QUOTES
FLAVIEN PRAT, THREE WITCHES, WINNER: “It’s been a great day, I am very grateful. “You never know, obviously she ran a great race in the Breeders’ Cup (Filly and Mare Sprint) so based on that race, I thought she could run a big race today.”
TRAINER QUOTES
MICHAEL MCCARTHY, THREE WITCHES, WINNER: “She trained very nicely, I can’t say thank you enough to Mr. Yuesheng Zhang and everybody involved with him, for sending her to us. Quite a nice surprise. This filly has trained well all along, a little bit workman like in the morning. We put some blinkers on her a couple of works back and she really stepped up her game. Today I think the big difference was Flavien was able to kind of get her to ease off of Hot Peppers and get outside of her. She found a nice kind of rhythm to get into up the backside, relax, and Flavien called upon her around the turn and she responded.
NOTES: The winning owner is Yuesheng Zhang.
