$175,000 GOLDEN STATE JUVENILE FILLIES
JOCKEY QUOTES
FRANK ALVARADO, GRAND SLAM SMILE, WINNER: “I’ve been working my filly up north and she’s been super. We knew we had something special here. We broke great and when I got to the three-eighths pole, I knew we had the race. She just took off. What a great feeling.”
TRAINER QUOTES
STEVE SPECHT, GRAND SLAM SMILE, WINNER: Did you think she was going to win this easily?: “Yes I did. She’s been training super and she’s a nice horse. She can do it all. She has speed if I need to send her, and she will rate kindly. She is a very versatile horse.
“Mr. and Mrs. Larry D. Willams, have been very good clients and have been very good to me. They send me nice horses and it is an easy job when you have nice horses. After the race in Del Mar, she got an infection in her leg and that set her back about 10 days. I just didn’t want to try. I had this race in mind for the last two months. It all worked out, I had her plenty fit coming into this race. Me and her will be on the highway at about 3:30 tomorrow morning.”
NOTES: The winning owner/breeders are Mr. & Mrs. Larry D. Williams.
