$100,000 FASIG TIPTON FUTURITY

JOCKEY QUOTES

EDWIN MALDONADO, TRANCHE, WINNER: “He ran a big race in Kentucky at Churchill and I really liked the horse today. In Kentucky the horse that won was a monster, I think he won by 10 and I knew we had a shot in here, but I didn’t think he was going to run this big today. I was feeling great, when I was turning for home by myself, I thought yes, we got a good shot.”

TRAINER QUOTES

LUIS MENDEZ, TRANCHE, WINNER: “To be honest I wasn’t really (confident going into the race) in this business when you think you’re going to win it can sometimes go the other way. Jaime loved this horse and so did John when he purchased him, Bill Peeples, I mean everybody on the team loved him, but I was not convinced. That beautiful field of horses was against him, so I was a little worried, when I saw him turning for home, he made me excited…I give John Brocklebank the credit for buying these nice horses, he always gives me the credit, but I think if they don’t buy a good horse, I don’t train.”

NOTES: The winning owner is William Peeples.
