GRADE III, $100,000 SURFER GIRL STAKES

JOCKEY QUOTES

HECTOR BERRIOS, THOUGHT PROCESS, WINNER: “She moved really easy today. I thought Bob Baffert’s filly (Casalu) would go to the lead,  then I saw Kimura grab the filly and I said , ‘Let’s go!’ She went really comfortably. I told her to wait and wait and at the stretch we went.”

TRAINER QUOTES

PHIL D’AMATO, THOUGHT PROCESS, WINNER: “The plan was we thought Bob’s horse was going to the lead again, so we were going to sit second. I don’t think he was intent on having his filly go to the lead today. Hector smartly just took the lead and went the shortest way around. I was just very impressed with her, it looks like there’s more in the tank, I’m sure when we go to the Breeders’ Cup she will definitely need more in the tank.”

NOTES: The winning owner is Madaket Stables LLC, Little Red Feather Racing and the Estate of Brereton Jones.
