$100,000 ROBERT J. FRANKEL STAKES QUOTES

JOCKEY QUOTES

JUAN HERNANDEZ, PARADISE LAKE, WINNER: “I felt like the pace was really slow I felt like we were galloping and my filly, she relaxed really well. She wasn’t pulling or anything so, around the three eighths, I smooched a little bit to see what I had and then she went to the other horse right away. I just kind of waited a little longer to make her do the same thing closer to the wire. Around the stretch, when I smooched her the second time she took off. She was running. I felt the inside horse was trying to come back and catch me, because of the slow pace, that horse kind of kept going. My filly, she tries and she loves Santa Anita. I think she loves a mile and an eighth. She showed up today. “She’s improving a lot. Peter Eurton and the barn, they do an amazing job with her and every horse, so I want to thank Pete and Mr. Searing, they always give me the confidence to ride these horses and I really appreciate it. They make my job easy.”

TRAINER QUOTES

PETER EURTON, PARADISE LAKE, WINNER: “I worked for (Bobby Frankel) for a short period of time. I galloped horses for him and he actually liked me. He didn’t like too many people, so I felt pretty good about that. Most importantly winning for Mr. Searing and Mrs. Searing, they are just amazing. They are such amazing individuals to work for. They take the wins with the losses as well as anybody, if not better. (Paradise Lake) is kind of special. She is no bigger than a greyhound, but she has put on some weight. I’m very happy about it.”
