TRAINER QUOTES

STEVEN SPECHT, GRAND SLAM SMILE, WINNER: “It worked out perfect. The other filly blasted away from there and (Alvarado) was clear without anyone pushing on him, so he was able to get her to settle. She started running when it counted. It looked like she handled (the crossing) just fine, I was holding my breath when she came to it, but it looked like she handled it pretty good.

“Santa Anita is her home.

“She handles anything. She’s done it all. Dirt. Turf. Synthetic. Long and short. I mean, she’s pretty handy.”

NOTES: The winning jockey is Frank Alvarado, the winning owners/breeders are Mr. & Mrs. Larry D. Williams.
