Kelly
Breen (Bickersons) – “We took her all over last year, to California,
and ran in the big races. I think we found out that she could do well around two
turns in the right company, but not necessarily against the best. Seven-eighths
is probably her best game and maybe she can go a one-turn mile. We passed the
Old Hat (six furlongs) specifically to point for this race. When she blew out
that 33 and four (fifths) I was concerned that she might have left her race at
Palm Meadows (Jan. 24), but obviously she didn’t.”
Joe
Bravo (jockey, Bickersons, 1st) – “That was really an
eye-opener. Let’s put it like this; you’ve got the Breeders’ Cup winner and a
full field, and our filly destroys a field like that. It makes us feel so good
going forward with her. She’s been showing it all along in the mornings.
(Trainer) Kelly (Breen) has some real nice fillies in his barn, and she has
been showing her colors with them. She has some little quirks, but Kelly has
done a great job putting in a lot of time with her. In any other barn I don’t
think she would have made it this far. I give him all the credit.”
Julien
Leparoux (jockey, She Be Wild, 5th) – “She took to the dirt well
and I got a good trip, but the distance was too short for her.”
