FLAVIEN PRAT (With Honors, winner) – “She was rank on me early, but I got her up front and near the leader and that seemed to help. She runs hard. She ran really well today. She’s a very good filly.”

 

MARIO GUTIERREZ (You Missed It, second) – “A good try for her today. She’ll get better because of it.”

 

MARTIN GARCIA (Lady Beware, third) – “Her first race.  A big effort. You know she’ll improve next time.”

KEITH DESORMEAUX  (With Honors, winner) – “She’s obviously a talented filly, but she’s a little bit aggressive and we’ve got to work on getting her to relax. Thanks to Alex Solis (Jr.) and his guys for giving me a chance with these young horses. I was a little concerned about the outside post, bad handicapper that I am. I should have known that with her speed she could clear the horses to her inside and get a nice run into the turn. You can see that’s exactly what she did. Then she actually settled pretty nicely. Good job by Flavien (Prat). We’ll go to Santa Anita for the Surfer Girl and then hopefully she’s ready for the big event ($1 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf). ”
