LAUREL, MD. 02/16/15

            Trainer  Donald H. Barr (Savvy Street):  "It went like I planned it. I wanted to bring him off the pace a little bit and  Forest [jockey Forest Boyce] is the best at that.  It was a tough race. The scratch of one of the favorites helped, but my horse has been improving over time. I'm excited to see him go two turns. This is his last one turn race. We hope to go to Pimlico and see what happens.

            "He's going to get a little rest now. He needs a little break. He raced as a two year old and he's won three of his six races. I really do think he's going to get [even] better."

            Jockey Forest Boyce (Savvy Street): "He broke really well today. I wanted to take him back and get settled, but we kind of got in a lot of traffic after that decision and it took a little while for us to work through it. There was some bumping going on, but nothing too bad. He had a clear lane at the top of the stretch and he was really coming on when I asked him. It looked like there were horses everywhere in front of us. But we got to our spot and he really dug in to win the head-bob. It's really great to be back on him. I've always really thought a lot of this horse."
