Quotes from the $100,000 Juvenile Dirt Sprint

December 10, 2019

Frankie Dettori (winning rider of Sheikh of Sheikhs)

“He traveled well and won nicely. Six furlongs seems perfect for him.”



Luis Saez (rider of runner-up Noholdingback Bear)

“He looked like he was going to win the race but when he felt a little brush from the 7 (Moment Is Right), he got a little scared or something. He stopped a little bit; he should have won the race.”

Jose Valdivia Jr. (rider of third-place finisher Richie the Bull)

“He’s really quick. He tried really hard. The other horses were just stronger.”
