GRADE III, $100,000 SAN LUIS REY STAKES

JOCKEY QUOTES

UMBERTO RISPOLI, OFFLEE NAUGHTY, WINNER: “I was trying to go around, I saw Juan (Hernandez, aboard Dicey Mo Chara) in front, so I was trying to sneak in…I came to the top of the stretch, and he switched his lead. He was the better horse today.”

TRAINER QUOTES

MICHAEL McCARTHY, OFFLEE NAUGHTY, WINNER: “Obviously he got overlooked (in the sale) but he’s been such a pleasant surprise for us. He’s been back and forth across the country a couple of times, got really good just before he got here. I thought his race the other day was really good where at the eighth pole he found another gear. Today he kind of chucked around the turn and lost a little bit of momentum and we were able to go ahead and find another gear and get the job done. “This win is for Jim Daniell and his wife.”

NOTES: The winning owner is James and Donna Daniell.
