$175,000 GOLDEN STATE JUVENILE

JOCKEY QUOTES

TIAGO PEREIRA, MAGIC SPOON, WINNER: “This race for me there was more pressure because I was also the rider of the two horses in the race for Steve Knapp (Going Mobile, Mici’s Express). But I rode this horse first-time out and he was impressive. He’s been impressive in his workouts. I opted to ride him.”

TRAINER QUOTES

JOSE VALDEZ, MAGIC SPOON, WINNER: “I’ve been waiting for this horse to run again. This was fantastic. He had trouble in his first race and overcame it. Today we stayed behind horses and then when it was time to run, he took off. This was my biggest win as a trainer. My team is responsible led by Hector Palma. We’ll see how the horse comes out of this race and make our plans for the next race.”

NOTES: The winning owners are BG Stables and Jose R. Valdez.
