JUAN HERNANDEZ, SHADY TIGER, WINNER: “To be honest, he surprised me a little bit because on paper it looked like I was going to be too far back but today this guy brought his game. He broke really sharp and I was just a couple of lengths behind the speed. I was in a perfect spot the whole race.”
TRAINER QUOTES
PHILIP D'AMATO, TRAINER, SHADY TIGER, WINNER: "That was an impressive performance. This horse has done nothing wrong in the mornings. He has impressed me, and I think he wants to go longer the way he galloped out today. We've been trying to get him to go in a two-turn race, but there really hasn't been anything. I think in the months to come there's a Cal-bred stake going long. Who knows, he might be able to compete against open company going long. I thought Tom Seaver got the jump on him at the turn and Juan was stuck on the inside, but when Juan got him in the clear, he exploded. He's a nice horse, and I think he just keeps getting better and better."
NOTES: The winning owner/breeder is Rusty Brown.
