QUOTES
TODD PLETCHER (AUDIBLE, Post Position 5, 8-1); (MAGNUM MOON (Post Position 16, 6-1); (NOBLE INDY, Post Position 19, 30-1); (VINO ROSSO, Post Position 18, 12-1) – “Ideally, I wouldn’t want three of my four horses in the auxiliary gate. But it’s horse racing and that’s what happens. We’ve all seen it before: good trips from bad posts, or vice versa. But in the end it’s out of my control so it’s all good. Both Magnum Moon (#16) and Noble Indy (#19) have tactical speed, so in a best case scenario they’ll be able to get good spots despite the post. This is very much a rider’s race and I’ve got four of the best riders around, which makes me feel good. When they went through the first 10 horses and I hadn’t gotten in the mix yet, I thought maybe they’d lost my entries. But it all worked out for the best. We’ll hope for a good break for our horses and then see what happens. It figures to be a very interesting race.”
From Forbes:
"He's gotten better as the distances have gotten longer, running two visually impressive races at Gulfstream Park over the winter, winning the Grade 2 Holy Bull and Grade 1 Florida Derby."
