What are they saying

"A Pollitical Candy V is getting better all the time and he's been really sharp," Pulido said. "The win in the Rainbow Derby was big, but I think he's got a chance to do even better as he moves forward. Winning an All American Derby would be a huge thrill."

"The All American Derby is full of talent and our team is honored to be in the race with two horses," said trainer Eric Valenzuela, who will send HT Double Jess and Muy Peligrosito to post in the All American Derby. "These are all great horses at this level. Muy Peligrosito ran second in the Ruidoso Derby and then took some time off. He looks great and has a great jockey in Sergio Becerra, Jr."

"Between Chasing AJ and Hesjudgeandjury, they have won all their trials in the futurities and qualified for all three major races, but just had some minor mistakes or issues in the finals," said trainer Heath Taylor, who has both Hesjuedgeandjury and Chasing AJ in the All American Futurity. "The All American Futurity is what you work for and hope to win. We're excited and we're hopeful for both of them that they will run well."
