$175,000, GOLDEN STATE JUVENILE FILLIES STAKES QUOTES

JOCKEY QUOTES RAMON VAZQUEZ, CAST MEMBER, WINNER: “I was feeling like I got a good horse. I was just waiting to push ahead in the last quarter, and she responded very well. My goal was accomplished in that final run.”

TRAINER QUOTES TIM YAKTEEN, CAST MEMBER, WINNER: “My thought coming into the race was if we were going to be fit enough. I didn’t get my prep race that I was hoping to get, so we went 60 days between races. Sometimes it’s a blessing, sometimes it’s a curse, anyways it turned out for the best. “I think she should go two turns, she’s out of an Artie Schiller mare, her mother was all grass, so we’re looking forward down the road to see what she develops into. “It pays to be Cal-bred. George has been a big supporter of the Cal-bred program. He stands Mr. Big and we have been very lucky with our Cal-breds. There’s so much added bonus to our pots with the Cal-bred division, it allows you to deviate from some of the heavy hitters sometimes and we have plenty of millionaires in the program, so it’s always fun to be a Cal-bred.”

NOTES: The winning owner/breeder is George Krikorian.
