$100,000 BAFFLE STAKES QUOTES

JOCKEY QUOTES

ANTONIO FRESU, STAY HOT, WINNER: “It was his first time gong down the hill. He’s a miler so today I think  the key was to let him settle where he was happy, and  getting him into a nice rhythm the first part. I know he has a good kick. He handled the crossing really well. He did good, but I don’t think the horse was very fit, he had a little break after Del Mar and I think he got a little tired at the end.  It was pretty impressive, because it was a good field and he showed that he has a lot of ability.”

TRAINER QUOTES

PETER EURTON, STAY HOT, WINNER:“I was kind of watching where he was at and I thought ‘Well, he’s got a lot to do,’ and then he had to swing wide to not take any chances where he wouldn’t be able to get through and I thin it took its toll an little bit, but he fought and got a little tired but the result was well. “I do appreciate the fact that Antonio (Fresu) came here. We have a lot of great riders here  and he is definitely one of them.”
