$100,000 MIZDIRECTION STAKES QUOTES

JOCKEY QUOTES

HECTOR I. BERRIOS, LUNAR IMPACT, WINNER: “The break was perfect. She’d feel another filly around her and she’d go. Then would relax. When we got to the stretch, I made a little move on her and she responded very nice. I looked at the infield screen and when I saw the horses behind me I just thought ‘wow.’

TRAINER QUOTES

DAN BLACKER, LUNAR IMPACT, WINNER: “We always thought very highly of her, and it is just very vindicating today to come back off the layoff and reward the owners for being patient. You have to start with talent. She’s a runner so you have to just nurse her along and get her fit without taking too much. She is just well bred and is by a champion stallion (Zoustar). That’s a good start. I’m really thankful to the ownership. It is a great combination and I’m really happy for the whole team. “
