Quotes from the $350,000 Castle & Key Bourbon (G2) Wayne Catalano (winning trainer of Andthewinneris): “100 percent (I thought he would turn in a winning performance). The way the horse was training, I thought we were going to win the race. Obviously, it’s horse racing and anything can happen, but I think we can win. The horses feel it. Everything went like I planned. Today we had pace and everything came together like it should. When you make a plan and everything comes together, it’s a great time.” Susan Moulton (breeder and owner of Andthewinneris): “He was born on my farm. I just bought my farm four years ago. Got my farm manager here, my husband (Shane Sellers), my trainer (Catalano). We’re so happy. What a beautiful race. And I’m still proud of ‘Manny’ from Friday (Moulton owns Manny Wah, winner of Keeneland’s Stoll Keenon Ogden Phoenix-G2, also trained by Catalano). Flavien Prat (winning jockey): “It was all depending on the way he was breaking out of the gate and the pace. The pace was good and I was able to tuck myself inside a bit. I was traveling really well all the way around and when I tipped him out he really gave me a great turn of foot. (Trainer) Wayne (Catalano) told me he was going to run great and he was right.” The Castle & Key Winner: Andthewinneris Trainer: Wayne M. Catalano Owner: Susan Moulton Jockey: Flavien Prat. Photo by Coady Martin Garcia (rider of runner-up Deer District): “My horse is just learning. He’s getting better day by day. Today we were inside and he broke good. I tried to go easy, but we had pressure outside and he just pulled me. I think after today we know we can compete with the good horses. He learned a lot and is going to be much better.” Tyler Gaffalione (rider of third-place finisher Really Good): “He ran a really good race. He’s still learning. He’s a very talented colt. The winner was much the best so hats off to him and the connections. I’m very pleased with my horse’s effort today and we’ll move forward from there.” Keeneland Press ReleasePhoto by Toady For information on Past The Wire’ s annual Breeders’ Cup Seminar the very best in the game CLICK HERE Related Facebook Twitter WhatsApp Telegram Leave a Reply Cancel reply Your email address will not be published.
