GRADE III, $100,000 ZUMA BEACH STAKES

JOCKEY QUOTES

ANTONIO FRESU, IRON MAN CAL, WINNER: “Today he was stepping up his game against a couple of horses that ran in the (Del Mar Juvenile Turf), so it was a tough race and he was fighting really bad. On the wire, I thought the bump that I received cost him a lot, because he is a lightly raced horse. He only had two races. He got scared and kind of like stopped. You could tell by my body language I was knocked off balance. I think it cost me.

TRAINER QUOTES

PHIL D’AMATO, IRON MAN CAL, WINNER: “I was definitely proud of my horse, he was kind of getting bounced around there a couple of times by (Artislas), and Antonio almost got knocked out of the saddle. But the horse hung in there tough and was put up. It was a great weekend it is just a credit to great horse and great staff. We will keep it rolling.”
