$150,000, ECHO EDDIE STAKES QUOTES

4/8/2023

$150,000, ECHO EDDIE STAKES QUOTES

JOCKEY QUOTES

FLAVIEN PRAT, KANGAROO COURT, WINNER: “It was a gutsy run, I thought we got bumped twice down the lane. The horse from the inside he shifted out and bumped us twice, so I’m really proud of his effort to stay focused and get the win.”

EDWIN MALDONADO, BUS BUZZ, SECOND: “He (Flavien Prat) made the first two contacts with my horse and I made the last one. He slammed me. My horse ran a big race. I knew the race was going to between the two of us. I was trying to get away from him. I figured if I could go as fast as I could, I might be able to steal the race. He (Prat) had the same thoughts.”

TRAINER QUOTES

TIM YAKTEEN, KANGAROO COURT, WINNER: “It was a fast race and came down to the wire. Both horses ran great and were very determined. Fortunately for us, we ended up on the right side of the finish line."

OWNER QUOTES

GEORGE SHARP, KANGAROO COURT, WINNER: “What a horse! They told me at the training center when we were breaking him that of the $1.9 million in yearlings I got he was the best one. I didn’t believe him because the horse was $7,500, turns out he was right. There’s not enough you can say about Tim’s job on the horse. I’m incredibly proud of him That horse is the reason I’m in horse racing.

“He’s going to be at Churchill on Derby Day, in the (Grade II, May 6) Pat Day Mile, so it might be a while until he’s back here but I’m incredibly proud of him.”

NOTES: The winning owner is George Sharp.
