TRAINER QUOTES

LIBRADO BAROCIO, JOHNNY PODRES, WINNER: “I think the key was when I dropped him in for $50,000 and he won. That gave him the confidence. Then in the last race, winning the stakes, he displayed that confidence. I wasn’t even going to run in this race. I was going to go up north for the San Francisco Mile. But after I prayed on it, I said, you know what? He loves the downhill course. Let’s stay in his backyard. Then I saw there was some speed in the race and I thought, you know what? This could set up for him.”

NOTES: The winning owner is David A. Bernsen LLC and Mia Familia Racing Stable.
