GRADE III, $100,000 ROYAL HEROINE STAKES QUOTES

JOCKEY QUOTES

LANFRANCO DETTORI, UNCORKED, WINNER: “Phil said, ‘She jumps quick so make sure you get cover and get her to relax’, she did. The field opened up like the Red Sea and I got the inside fence, and she just took off.”

TRAINER QUOTES

JULIE WITT, ASSISTANT TO PHIL D’AMATO, UNCORKED, WINNER: “When Frankie asked her, she responded. She is an Australian bred and they are known for their sprinter milers down there and they have a heck of a turn of foot. She is really enjoying California and credit to the owners for sending her out here to us and coming up with this idea of giving us a high-quality filly. Everybody that has gotten on her while she’s been out here has done really well. When she got out here, she got pretty sick on us so it kind of delayed her California debut for a while, but once we got her right she hasn’t missed a beat. We had to get her right and take care of her. Once she got back into training and everything, she has been straight forward it is nice to see her get off the ship like this.”
