$150,000 SUNSHINE MILLIONS FILLY & MARE TURF SPRINT STAKES QUOTES

JOCKEY QUOTES

FLAVIEN PRAT, ROSE MADDOX, WINNER: “She’s a really nice filly. I hadn’t been on her before and they gave me a free hand today. She was traveling along and we settled just behind the speed. The hole opened for us as we turned for home and she made a good run to the wire.”

TRAINER QUOTES

STEVE MIYADI, ROSE MADDOX, WINNER: “We’ve always liked her and she showed up again today. As good as she’s run on turf, I actually think she‘s better on dirt. We’re going to point to the Spring Fever here (February 18) at six furlongs on dirt next time.”

OWNER QUOTES

NICK ALEXANDER, ROSE MADDOX, WINNER: “She fires every time. Her dam (Heat the Rocks) is by Unusual Heat and her sire is Grazen…so you’ve got the queen and the king right on top. She doesn’t have the greatest personality, but she loves to run. “Steve has a very unusual way of working his horses, if you see anything below 104 you get nervous. That is just his style, but it works. “Flavien (Prat) is just the greatest, I love that guy. We are two for two today and we’ve got a good shot tomorrow. He never makes a mistake, he always finds a hole, he always finds the shortest way home and once he gets the league, you can never go by him.”  

NOTES: The winning owner/breeder is Nick Alexander.
