LANFRANCO DETTORI, PRINCESS BETTINA, WINNER: “I had no plans. I rode the filly the other morning and I told Pete that I thought she was quite useful, she’s a little bit hot. She broke well nobody wanted the lead, so I took it. I got her into a nice rhythm into the backstretch and as soon as we got to the quarter pole she kicked and found a new gear, it was all over.”
TRAINER QUOTES
PETER EURTON, PRINCESS BETTINA, WINNER: “She’s always quick and she’s always been a (nervous) filly. She’s always been kind of taken back a little bit (in her races). In her sprint races on dirt, she showed a lot of speed and just didn’t have any finish to her, but the two turns and grass seems to have done her a world of good.”
“Frankie doesn’t take anything for granted. He is amazing. He said, ‘I’m not going to take anything away from her, I’m going to see how she breaks and we will go from there.’ I felt at that point that he was going to have her much closer than usual, especially with Baffert’s horse scratching.
“We are just going to enjoy it. Mr. Dizney and I will discuss it and I’m sure we will come up with a good plan.”
NOTES: The winning owner/breeder is Donald R. Dizney LLC.
