GRADE III, $100,000 TOKYO CITY CUP

JOCKEY QUOTES

UMBERTO RISPOLI, MISSED THE CUT, WINNER: “I was loaded all the way. He relaxed for me behind the speed and when I asked him in the stretch he responded. Very nice effort.”

TRAINER QUOTES

JOHN SADLER, MISSED THE CUT, WINNER: “He’s a horse that can run long distance. He had a good race here in the spring before we went to Del Mar, he showed he liked the main track. This is his fourth start (stateside), so his whole story isn’t written yet, but it was a good race for him today. I’d like to thank the Japanese Racing Association for putting on a nice show. I had a good time with them in London with the Longines World Championships, great connections here today.

“He might be a good horse for an international race, he’s already run in England and Saudi Arabia so who knows.”
