__GRADE II, $200,000 TWILIGHT DERBY __

JOCKEY QUOTES

HECTOR I. BERRIOS, ATITLAN, WINNER: “He was more comfortable today. The pace was slow, but he was going so easy. I asked him to wait, wait. When I had a little hole in the stretch, I moved on him and he responded.”

TRAINER QUOTES

JOHN SHIRREFFS, ATITLAN, WINNER: “He’s had a little bit of traffic problems in prior races, but today he seemed to relax really well and Hector was able to just wait and make one big move. Hector, all month long has come over to work him and every time he’s come in (with a time) of 1:02 and we wonder if that is good enough. He said, ‘Don’t worry John, he’s doing really well.’ It worked out great.”

NOTES: The winning owner is John M. B. O’Connor.
