HECTOR BERRIOS (Dreamfyre, winner) – “Oh, she’s fast; really fast. I looked at the video (of her first start July 9 at Pleasanton) and I say there’s only one way to go with her – that’s go fast right out of the gate. She did everything right. She was good at the gate; good with the break; made the lead on her own. She’s very professional. When we turned for home and I smooched to her, she took right off. She’s a good one.”

O.J. JAUREGUI (Dreamfyre, winner) – “She’s fast, I knew it. That’s why I brought her here for the meeting. Usually I have my barn in Northern California. She’s been doing everything right and I expected her to run a very honest race. She got a little breather about the 5/16 going to the quarter pole, so I knew I had a chance. She kicked right in and she ran really big.”
