Todd Pletcher (Starfish
Bay, 1st, West Ocean,
2nd) – “She’s always been a very
fast filly. She came out of her last race with a lung infection that took a while
to clear up, but she’s come back and trained well. It took us a while
finding her specialty, which is sprinting on grass. That’s what
she’ll be doing in the future. There is a stakes at Keeneland and another
at Churchill that we’ll consider. West Ocean
also ran well. She had a tough post (11) and finished well.”
Chris DeCarlo (jockey, Starfish Bay, 1st) -
“She was the fastest horse in the race, so she was supposed to be on the
lead, and she did everything so easy. She’s just naturally fast, and she
likes to hear her feet rattle over a firm turf course. And this turf is really
firm right now; they’ve been running very fast times over this
course.”
John Velazquez (jockey, West Ocean,
2nd) – “I had a good trip, but the
other horse (Starfish
Bay) got loose and my horse
just couldn’t catch up.”
