$80,000 SWINGTIME STAKES

JOCKEY QUOTES

JUAN HERNANDEZ, QUEEN OF THE MUD, WINNER: “I broke in front of everyone, and I was thinking in my mind just to let her go because she broke really good, really sharp. But it looked like when she felt herself out in front that she didn’t want to go and was waiting for company. I saw a couple of horses outside so I just let them go and I kept tracking them. After that I had a really nice trip. She settled nicely behind horses. When I turned for home, I was near the rail saving ground and we got lucky. This filly is really brave because as soon as the rail opened, she came through. Mr. Graham Motion and Alice(Clapham) they always bring horses really sharp and ready to win these races. I’m just really thankful.

“It was my first time on her, but she is really kind. Alice the assistant told me that she was kind and you could do what you want with her, so I turned her loose from the pony and she warmed up really good.”

TRAINER QUOTES

ALICE CLAPHAM, ASSISTANT TO GRAHAM MOTION, QUEEN OF THE MUD, WINNER: “Graham had been wanting to stretch her out from her last run at Laurel, so this seemed like a great spot for her. We shipped in last Saturday and she has just done everything right.

“She’s a long filly, but she is really well put together.”
