QUOTES

KEITH DESORMEAUX (MY BOY JACK, Post Position 10, 30-1) – “Perfect; right in the middle. We wanted to be there or farther outside. With our style (a late runner) we just didn’t want to be inside and taking a lot of dirt in the face right away.”

He's run at four different tracks this year, across the country, compiling two wins and two thirds, all in graded stakes races. A deep closer that doesn't need a perfect post position, he'll break from the middle of the pack and likely take back.
