Dave Braddy (Sweet Repent)
– “I was concerned when he (Manoel Cruz) was asking her in the far
turn and not really getting to the leaders (Jessica Is Back and Amazing), but
she got going and wore them down. She had some time off last year (Feb-July)
with some problems with her feet. She was a better 3-year-old than a 2-year-old
and is still maturing. She gets a vacation now, probably about 60 days
off.”
Manoel Cruz (jockey, Sweet Repent, 1st)
– “I waited to ask my filly for her run because I know that she is
game, and I just had to be consistent with her. I knew she would run for me in
the final eighth, and that she was going to give me a whole bunch of run. She
has improved a lot as she has gotten older and more experienced, and she keeps
getting better.”
Julien Leparoux (jockey, Jessica is
Back, 2nd) – “The five-horse (Amazing)
kept staying inside. I was able to relax for a bit and my filly finished
well.”
