INFORMATION
Eddie Kenneally (Warbling) –
“I’ve
thought she was special from the beginning. Her two races last year in Kentucky were
very good
and I was looking forward to this winter here. She didn’t break well
last
time, but she was sharp today, although I really didn’t think she would
be on the lead. There are races for her ahead doing what she’s been
doing
and the Grade 1 Humana on Derby Day at Churchill is a goal. As long as
there
are good races for her going one turn we’ll keep her doing that, but
maybe down the line try and stretch her out.”
Julien Leparoux (jockey,
Warbling, 1st)
– “It wasn’t the plan to be on the lead,
but she broke very sharp and was comfortable in front. And as long as
she was
comfortable, I was happy. She went fast, but actually it felt like I was
just
cruising along very nicely, and when I asked her she just broke again
and she
finished very well. I feel like seven furlongs is a good distance for
her.
Maybe something longer in the future, but right now seven furlongs is
best for
her.”
Alan Garcia (jockey, Tar
Heel Mom, 2nd)
– “I have no excuses. My filly ran a good race,
and she was second best. The winner just got away from us.”
