Patrick Valenzuela Quotations

She didn't want to switch leads but when she did, she accelerated again.

She didn't break the best today and I had to take her back, but she relaxed. On the (far) turn, I saw an opening and I took it. She went right in there and took off right away.

I think he's one of the best sprinters in the country. He kept on his left lead, and I really didn't really try to make him switch. I just kept him going about his business.

He ran a great race. He's a perfect three for three and getting better and better. Pablo and Doug have been big supporters of me, and it's so nice to win one like this for them.

I just think Lava Man ran a very big race today. We just got outrun. We had a pretty moderate pace going. I tried to hold my advantage the whole way. I tried to edge away from Lava Man at the three-eighths pole, and I couldn't do it.

I am finding out more and more about her each time I ride this filly and the way she races. She didn't break the best today and I had to take her back, but she relaxed. On the far turn I saw an opening and took it. She went right in there and took off right away.

He broke good, but the other horses wanted the lead. So I just sat with him.

When we crossed the dirt, the leader drifted out and we got through. He just took off and got the job done.

Mr. Lewis made me part of the Budweiser family. Which is pretty ironic, when you think about it.

There's no doubt he (Surf Cat) cost me the race. I'm trying the best I can to slow it down and he's on me. My horse ran great, but he just fell apart the last 20 yards.
