JOCKEY QUOTES
MIKE SMITH, COFFEE IN BED, WINNER: “Although we settled back a little, we were hung out a little wide. She seemed to be happy there. She was at a really nice, happy cruising speed. I said, ‘I’ll stay out of the way and let her do what she does best.’ And she showed up today.”
FRANKIE DETTORI, SUPER SHINE, SECOND: “(Coffee In Bed) always had me. The last 1/16th she really poured it out for me. It was her first time here. I couldn’t ask for more. She jumped good, nobody was faster than me, so I had to go. She ran great.”
TRAINER QUOTES
RICHARD MANDELLA, COFFEE IN BED, WINNER: “The boys and the girls at the barn have really worked with her in the mornings. They have done a great job, the groom, Taylor the assistant, my son and Jose Contreras does a good job riding her. I couldn’t do all of this without all those guys.”
