Boynton Beach Quotes
Stanley
Hough (Sea Road) – “It’s been a good day (Hough-trained 5-year-old mare Tar
Heel Mom won Aqueduct’s $150,000 Distaff Handicap (G2) a half-hour before the Boynton
Beach). I stayed here with this filly. I’m not that good a shipper. She (Sea Road)
runs her race every time – gives it her A-effort and has taken each step up in
stride. We’ll get her back home (Belmont Park)
and look around for the right spot.”
(Note:
Sea
Road’s co-owner and
co-breeder Alex Rankin also bred and owns Tar Heel Mom, who placed in all three
Graded stakes for fillies and mares at Gulfstream earlier this season.)
Joe
Bravo (jockey, Sea
Road, 1st) –
“There was a very soft pace, but my filly was always giving me the confidence
that at any time she could go and get the front runners. It was my first time
on her, and she was giving me the feeling that whenever we wanted to, we’d go
and get this. She was real push-button today.”
