Quotable

Trainer Jerry Hollendorfer, on sending Chocolate Candy to Belmont Park rather than returning to his home base at Golden Gate Fields after the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1):

"It was suggested to us to train over at Belmont for a while before you run. I didn't want to leave him on the road that long, but it's worked out okay so far. He's been very happy here."
