DownthedustyRoad quotes

Winner of the Jockey Francisco Arrieta (Transport ICE): “The race looked like a simple place. When I saw two scratches, it was even easier. I was a little worried about being inside. Sometimes she is a little scared. She moved around a bit, but she jumped well. That was the goal. After that it was just a simple journey. When I made her well, she just went off. I never hit her with the whip. She just made it. Today was easy for her. “

Winner of the trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. by phone (Transporte ICE): “She did it well. She loves Arkansas. She was born there. She will return to Florida, but I would think that she will most likely start there again. We know that she likes the route. I would say that she will run there again, but she will come home. “
