$300,000 Barbara Fritchie (G2) Quotes

LAUREL, MD. 02/14/15

Winning Trainer Robin Graham (Lady Sabelia)

            "She has been getting better from a year and 1/2 ago. She is cool and relaxed about everything. Whatever you ask her to do she does. This one is good for the home team. She only ran four times last year because of an eye problem. Whenever she is off that is why. We haven't thought past today...wanted to see where this goes. I will consider taking her to bigger things. I don't give Horacio a lot of instructions. He knows not to get into a fight with her."

Winning Jockey Horacio Karamanos (Lady Sabelia)           

            "She has natural speed. She wanted to go to front. There was nothing to cover me up so I let her go. She took the lead so nice and easy and had plenty left at wire. She breezed so nice and comfortable last week in 58 that I was expecting big things today. This is special for me and Maryland today."

Jockey Jose Ortiz (Princess Violet)

            "I thought there would be more speed in the race. The Karamanos filly is nice. She got loose on lead and kept going. My horse ran a great race today."

Jockey Elvis Trujillo (Sam's Sister)

            "My horse never picked it up today. Winner ran easy on lead."
