SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO HANDICAP QUOTES
JOCKEY QUOTES
JOE TALAMO, INTERACTION, WINNER: “We had a perfect trip. The whole way around I was able to save a lot of ground. Turning for home I took him out and he gave me a huge effort the last eighth of a mile. The horse that ran second (All Squared Away), you can’t take anything away from him, he was pretty hard to get by. My horse just showed a lot of heart and effort, he showed a lot of class today.”

SANTA BARBARA HANDICAP QUOTES
JOCKEY QUOTES
RAFAEL BEJARANO, LADY OF SHAMROCK, WINNER: “I was a little worried about the pace and the horse on the lead was going really slow so I just tried to save ground on both turns. When I saw the opportunity on the rail in the stretch, and I saw a lot of room I just kept running but unfortunately when Victor used the right hand stick his horse kept coming in and completely crossed my lane and I was completely on her heels so I didn’t have any choice but to hold my horse and stop riding a little, and then letting her go again.

SANTA LUCIA STAKES QUOTES
JOCKEY QUOTES
COREY NAKATANI, SISTER KATE, WINNER: “I was trying to put her in the race and let her assert herself as the speed, but David (Flores) wanted to go on Baffert’s horse. I opted to let him go ahead and go, I got to his outside to track him and it ended up working out for us.”
DAVID FLORES, CANDREA, SECOND: “She got tired. I never got a chance to make her change her lead at the end, she was laying down. She tried, she was honest, and she gave me a great run, no complaints. Sometimes, that’s just the way it goes.”

SANTA ANITA DERBY QUOTES
JOCKEY QUOTES
GARRETT GOMEZ, FLASHBACK, 11-10 FAVORITE, SECOND: “Everything was good. I was very happy with my position and I was able to get him to settle a little bit. He took everything well. Up the backside I found myself behind Goldencents and (Bob) Baffert’s other horse (Super Ninety Nine) and I thought I was in a good spot, I really did. I thought even if I get stuck in here for a while that I was in a good spot saving ground right in behind them.
