GRADE III, $100,000, SAN MARCOS STAKES QUOTES

JOCKEY QUOTES

FLAVIEN PRAT, PRINCE ABAMA, WINNER: “It is always great to get some winners. I can’t thank Phil enough for his support. He has been a great supporter of mine and I really appreciate it.

“I had a good trip, turning for home I had all my chances. I thought Masteroffoxhounds was going to be opening up and I was not going to be able to catch him, but my horse was really brave, laid it down and did the job.”

TRAINER QUOTES

PHIL D’AMATO, PRINCE ABAMA, WINNER:“He’s a very consistent horse, he fires. Last time he kind of got stuck on the inside and Flavien jumped off of him and said, ‘I didn’t give him my ideal trip.’ This time he made it a point to get him in the clear. I thought Masteroffoxhounds was home free, but Flavien laid it down and Prince Abama got the job done.

“He was slowly making up ground late, but Masteroffoxhounds was in full flight, I thought it was going to be really close and he just got the job done late.”

NOTES: The winning owner is Michael House.
