JOCKEY QUOTES
EDWIN MALDONADO, RUBY NELL, WINNER: “She’s super tough. Going down the hill I knew there was going to be a lot of pace in the race, so it would be easier for me to break and let her go, instead of breaking and trying to slow her down, it was a great decision. She was very comfortable, she’s a professional she does everything great.”
TRAINER QUOTES
RICHARD MANDELLA, RUBY NELL, WINNER: “She’s a good filly, it took us a couple of races to kind of find out what she wanted, but she really wanted grass and is pretty good at it. I thought she would do better in the Oaks at Del Mar (fourth, Aug. 19) but she needed a little more seasoning. She was a little rank early and I think eventually she will learn. Sometimes it takes a little while for them to understand my training.”
