$150,000 SENATOR KEN MADDY

JOCKEY QUOTES JOSE ORTIZ, WET MY BEAK, WINNER: “He broke good. The pace was plenty fast going down the hill. I didn’t expect there were going to be four or five horses going for the lead, but when I saw that I knew that they were going very fast. I handicapped the race and only saw two speeds, so when I saw five of them I knew they were going fast. That allowed me to bide my time. I felt like I had a lot of horse underneath me every step of the way.

“Last time she ran into a little bit of trouble in the stretch. This time Vladimir told me to just stay out of trouble. That was the only instruction he game me. I was confident going into the race. I just kept her out of trouble like he told me, and it worked out.”

TRAINER QUOTES VLADIMIR CERIN, WET MY BEAK, WINNER: “I’m not surprised. It just took a while. After we purchased this horse a year ago privately, she had some little issues to overcome. We were patient. She’s a true race horse. Jose rode her perfectly. I asked Jose if he watched her two previous races and he said he had. I just told him to stay out of trouble and the filly will do the rest.”

OWNER QUOTES JAMEY OUGH, OWNER WITH THELMA & LOUISE STABLE LLC, My wife (Shari Ough) and I have Jerry Brown of Thoro-Graph to thank. He recommended this horse and helped with the negotiations. Vlad (Cerin) gave her time with the little issues she had, and we thought she would love the turf.”
