EDGAR PAYERAS (Chismosa, winner) -- “She is an amazing filly. Through the turn I was too wide. I dropped in to save a little ground; when she feels the dirt in her face, she wants to go. She was, like, pulling. So I said ‘Let’s go.’”
RAFAEL DeLEON (Chismosa, winner) – She is a power horse. She’s been training super every day. Soon as he threw her to the rail (in the stretch) I knew I was going to win the race. The jockey (Edgar Payeras), he knows the filly real good; he works her every single time and if she gets behind a horse, she responds and tries to pass.”
