TRACK TALKS

AWARDEE

In reality, we wanted an outside gate but funnily enough number one is our lucky number. Shinji Maeda, brother of owner Koji Maeda

NORTH AMERICA

We have got the name. West Coast is only one part of America. We have got all of North America.

Satish Seemar, Trainer

GUNNEVERA

He wanted to keep going. He went very, very well. He likes this track and he handled the lights really well.

Antonio Sano, Trainer

FURIA CRUZADA

Four is a very good draw for her and I am happy with that. She has been very consistent all season on both the turf and the dirt. erwan Charpy, Trainer

MUBTA AHIJ

I wanted to use somebody on him who’s been here before. He’s very good under pressure. Bob Baffert, Trainer

FOREVER UNBRIDLED

What we’re real happy about is how she’s doing here. Her energy is great. Her appetite is good. The Post Position should be fine. Dallas Stewart, Trainer

TALISMANIC

He went very nicely and is in great form. He did his final serious gallop, over 1400m, on Sunday and has come out of that particularly well. lisa-jane Graffard, the Godolphin representative

PAVEL

He got to loving it. If we try it on a horse and he fights it too much, we just take it off. This guy loves it. He wants to be in the bit.”. leandro Mora, Assistant Trainer

WEST COAST

Everybody wants the 1 here – I do not like the 1 hole. We have a fast horse. From the outside, if they break a little slow they’re not going to be in trouble. Bob Baffert, Trainer

THUNDER SNOW

He’s doing good this year, last time was disappointing but he came back really well. We’re really happy with him. Saeed bin Suroor, Trainer
