$100,000, SWEET LIFE STAKES QUOTES

JOCKEY QUOTES

LANFRANCO DETTORI, MANHATTAN JUNGLE, WINNER :“Michael told me to ride her with a lot of confidence, so we studied the speed upfront, angled her out and probably found myself out in front way too soon. She was looking at everything, but she got the job done. It’s quite difficult for a horse to run first time six and a half down the hill. It is so different, and they are looking at everything. I was pretty (impressed), that was a good performance.”

TRAINER QUOTES

MICHAEL MCCARTHY, MANHATTAN JUNGLE, WINNER: “Frankie said she was kind of busy checking out the surroundings coming down the hill. From my vantage point as they were coming down the hill, I lost her for a quick second as they went behind the matrix board, it looked like she was just off the pace. When they came out, she was like five or six behind. This filly has been touting herself all along and she has been training super. I thought her race here opening week was great, it's nice to see her get it done here.”
