$100,000 DESERT STORMER STAKES QUOTES

JOCKEY QUOTES

TIAGO PEREIRA, CHISMOSA, WINNER: “The pace was too fast. My filly has some speed. I broke good and I asked her a little bit. I tried to put her close, but they were going too fast. I loved it. It was much better for me because my filly finishes strong.”

TRAINER QUOTES

RAFAEL DELEON, CHISMOSA, WINNER: “I thought that Tiago knew the horse pretty well. Kyle Frey knew the horse too, but he decided to ride the other horse. (3rd place finisher Tom’s Regret) I had two jockeys that have ran huge with this horse. She runs better on the dirt than she does on the turf. We had no luck finding these kinds of races, that’s why we had to sacrifice and run her back in 15 days. She looked super every time she ran on the dirt. I think my filly is very good because she comes out really good out of the races.

“I groomed her from day one, I have only four horses and I have someone who helps me with the stalls and everything. I do my horses, I like to do my job and I like to groom my horses because I have a hand on them at all times.”

NOTES: The winning owner/breeder is Jaime Renella.
