JOCKEY QUOTES

LANFRANCO, DETTORI, EASTER, WINNER: “I was thinking, ‘I wish somebody would put wings on this horse so we can fly over the top of them.’ I was completely imprisoned on both sides and just needed the key to get out. I found an opening inside and I thought I still had a mountain to climb but the horse just took off and saved the day.

“I feel great (and) it is amazing to come back and win (this) big race. I’m going to spend an awful lot of time here next year so, I’m off to a good start and I feel so good to be here. This is, at the moment, where I belong.”

TRAINER QUOTES

ALICE CLAPHAM, ASSISTANT TRAINER, EASTER, WINNER: “I was like oh no we are in trouble here but once he got him out the horse really kicked in and flew home. He’s been training really well and we were really happy with him, so we were hoping he could show his true colors today.”
