Jug Quotes
by Tom White
Quotes:
First elimination:
Brian Sears—Badlands Nitro: That horse (Shadow Play) went a tremendous mile.
Pulling from the pocket like he did, that final in 26 was something else. I gassed
him( Badlands Nitro) a little leaving, but I think he will be OK with the time between
heats.. that was just a huge mile for my horse and Millers.
Paul MacKenzie—Giddy Up Lucky; big last quarter. He can go in 1:51. I thought he
was just a little flat, but he raced big.
Second Elimination:
Brian Sears—Rudy Rednose: Another huge mile. He raced his eyes out going in 1:50.
It is Delaware so you write the rest of the story. I’m not sure who I will drive in 2nd heat.
John Campbell—Mystery Chase: Back to back world records…this is Delaware. This is a
great day for speed. The track is great. My horse raced as good s he could with his post
position. Everyone wants rail at Delaware, but only one can get it. I am hoping for 9th
post in final.
Third Elimination:
Ron Pierce—Art Official: (Early break in turn) He hit the turn too fast. He’s not 100 per
cent today, I have seen him much better. I know he can go faster. Joe (Seekman) will
get the ripples out back in the barn.
Tim Tetrick—Giddess’s Justin—Just hoping to make the final,
but he’s pretty much been a bridesmaid.
Jody Jamieson—Santanna Blue Chip—I just needed to get through that first turn, and
once I did get through, I wasn’t going to let anyone else go. My disappointment was I
thought my horse might finish better than he did.
Final Heat:
Dave Palone—Lonestar Legend-- I had great visions down the backstretch, but at the
last turn David ask his horse, and I was racing for second after that. I don’t think anybody
was going to beat that horse here today.
Ron Pierce—I really feel good for everyone associated with Shadow Play. My horse was just
a little off today. I think it would have taken a special horse to beat Shadow Play today. And
I had trouble with my horse in the turns.
