GRADE III, $100,000 SANTA YSABEL STAKES QUOTES JOCKEY QUOTES JUAN HERNANDEZ, KINZA, WINNER : “She was feeling very sharp today in the post parade actually she was a little hot, that’s why we broke out of the post parade but then a when I got her on the track, she was a little better. I think she was just feeling a little fresh and now she knows she was going to race, so she was feeling a little hot. I didn’t want to go that fast in the beginning, I wanted to go nice and easy. I just let her go, I didn’t want to fight her she was really comfortable. I felt the pace fast earlier, so I said, ‘I’m just going to wait I’m not going to move.’ I was just checking making sure no one got too close to me and when she switched leads that’s when she picked it up again and gave me another gear, she is a nice filly.” TRAINER QUOTES BOB BAFFERT, KINZA WINNER: “She is just so naturally fast, she gets wound up. She is getting better. Her worst enemy is that she is just so cranked up. My team and my staff everyone works hard to school her and spends time with her. She is just a naturally gifted speed horse. She has a beautiful way of moving and just gets over the ground really nice and with her speed and the way she gets going it’s just perfect.” Join the Inner Circle Sign up for exclusive 10% discount on orders, plus be the first to access our daily free and premium horse racing picks, articles, podcasts, and more!
