141St Longines Kentucky Oaks Post-Race News Conference Friday, May 1, 2015 Churchill Downs 141st Longines Kentucky Oaks Post-Race News Conference Friday, May 1, 2015 Churchill Downs JOHN ASHER: At the podium, is Dr. Keith Latson. He is the American Association of Equine Practitioners on-call veterinarian for the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks. We're very happy to have Dr. Latson here. He was here with us last year and back with us here, succeeding Dr. Larry Bramlage in that job. Number 11, Sarah Sis, pulled up and did not finish in the Kentucky Oaks. And Dr. Latson has come forward. We appreciate him stopping by to give us an update on her condition. Again, this regards Number 11, Sarah Sis, who did not finish in the Kentucky Oaks. Dr. Latson. DR. KEITH LATSON: Thanks, John. Gary Stevens eased Sarah Sis to a stop about midstretch because she just didn't feel right to him. Nothing specific that he could identify while he was on top of her. She just didn't feel right. He hopped off, and Dr. Will Farmer attended to Sarah Sis immediately. And it was obvious that she was standing on all four legs comfortably, no apparent injury to any of her limbs. She walked comfortably to be loaded on the equine ambulance where Dr. Liz Santschi attended to her for the ride back to the barn. When she was unloaded from the ambulance at the barn, Dr. Foster Northrop had a look at her. And she was still walking. Sarah Sis was still walking comfortably in the barn and was being treated for mild heat exhaustion. So it was a precautionary measure to take her back in the ambulance and for Gary Stevens to wrap up on her and ask her to stop. So good news. She should be just fine. Q. How common is mild heat exhaustion? DR. KEITH LATSON: It happens periodically. I don't have a specific number for you, but it happens periodically. And we're prepared for that. We have ice buckets and water at each of the turns for horses that may exhibit that as they're walking back to the track versus those that exhibit it during the race and are pulled up, as this one was. JOHN ASHER: On my right, your left, winning trainer. You going ahead and talk. You get the run this year. J. LARRY JONES: We are reliving it. 141st Longines Kentucky Oaks Post-Race News Conference Friday, May 1, 2015 Churchill Downs JOHN ASHER: J. Larry Jones, native of Hopkinsville, Kentucky, wins his third Kentucky Oaks with Lovely Maria. Winning his first Kentucky Oaks, right next to him, Kerwin Clark. Go ahead and call him Boo Boo. He's had a very, very big month. We will talk, first of all, to Larry Jones about this filly. You and I were talking at the barn about both these fillies. You were raving about the way Lovely Maria had worked coming in here. She was coming in off the win at the Ashland at Keeneland. You loved the way she was doing here and clearly ran to what you expected today and maybe a little more. J. LARRY JONES: Yeah. No, she really did. And I had said the deal that if we were making a movie to do this, this would have been the work that we would have put in for the movie where it was so picture perfect. I told Kerwin earlier, we can't work horses like this every time. But this is the race of a life. This is the one you shoot for and just put it all out on the line, let her work. Because, if she can't do the work and come back in five days, she wasn't good enough to win to start with. He did. He came back. He was just grinning. And every eighth was so much stronger in this finish. And it was really good. She really did everything right. She kind of touted herself in the Ashland that she was getting good. She is one of those horses that does not have to carry a racetrack with her. She runs -- I think if we'd throw marbles out there, she would run over them. My congratulations to -- as I always called him Governor Jones. They call him Cousin Jones now. But he just sends us such good horses. And this filly -- but he gives us time to work on this. It is not like, okay, we want them to definitely win their first race and we don't want them to ever lose. He just wants me to develop them, and he gives us that opportunity. Bless him. God bless him. Thank you, Lord. JOHN ASHER: As we're doing this, we do have the replay up here. J. LARRY JONES: I don't think I'm tired of watching it yet. I've seen it two or three times. JOHN ASHER: I will ask you about the other filly. There is a duo in Kentucky Derby history called the Jones boys that were big at winning Derbies for Calumet Farms. You now occupy that spot in the Kentucky Oaks. Let's talk to the other Jones boy who is closely watching the race. This may not be a good time to go to him. Governor Jones, congratulations. Three Kentucky Oaks for you, all with J. Larry here. You're a breeder. You have been a part of this industry all your life. Let's talk about how this one 141st Longines Kentucky Oaks Post-Race News Conference Friday, May 1, 2015 Churchill Downs feels before a record crowd of the Kentucky Oaks of 123,763. About 7,000 beyond the old record. So you did it on the brightest spotlight the Kentucky Oaks has ever had. BRERETON JONES: Let me begin by saying I know that I and my family are blessed. Don't ask me why it has happened. But for some reason it's happened. And we could not be more thankful. And we recognize that this happened because of a big team effort. It happened because people at the farm have done the right things. Tim Thornton, general manager of the farm, has done the right things. The people that have done the vet work have done the right things. And we give them to the trainer. And the trainer then gets to look them over and start training them. And we leave him alone. And then he gets the jockey. And he gets the good jockey. And he leaves the jockey alone. I just kind of sit back and say, man, this is fun. And, sure enough, it all works. So I really feel like we brought a lot of good people together to accomplish this. It certainly is not something that I deserve all the credit for. JOHN ASHER: Speak to the man in the middle here. That's jockey Kerwin Clark. Do you want to start off by getting this stat straight. How old are you on this day? KERWIN CLARK: 56. JOHN ASHER: When was your last birthday? KERWIN CLARK: April 18th. Recently got old, yeah. JOHN ASHER: You got a little more spring in your step after the last month. At the Ashland at Keeneland which you won on Lovely Maria, that was your first Grade I. KERWIN CLARK: Yes, my first Grade I. And it's funny because (Corey) Lanarie won his second Grade I today. He walked back in and said, "I'm one up on you." So he said, "You have to win the Oaks." I said, "Okay, no problem." So here we are. Now, it wasn't that easy. (Laughter.) It wasn't that simple. JOHN ASHER: How long have you been riding? KERWIN CLARK: 40 years. Started -- well, I guess it's 40. I lost track. '75 I started. So long time. 141st Longines Kentucky Oaks Post-Race News Conference Friday, May 1, 2015 Churchill Downs JOHN ASHER: From your conversations with Larry there, you thought you had an improving filly here with a big chance. Let's talk about the race and how it felt as you were coming near the wire winning a race like that. KERWIN CLARK: Like Mr. Brereton Jones said, it's a team effort. I mean, I think we have a great team. We all work toward the same goal getting these horses to the right spots and trying to get them to run the best that they can. It's such a feeling -- I can't really tell you because, you know, when you start off with babies, working them an eighth of a mile, 3/8 on up to their maiden race and just seeing them progress and getting better and better, and this filly has been just getting better and better every time she's run. In the Ashland, I thought she touted herself big time. I mean, she won pretty handy. And, like Larry said when we worked her the other day, I mean, I know how our program works and I know what he wants. And she did that breeze very, very easy and very happy to do it. And I knew we were coming into this race loaded. Larry told me, he said, "Look, we're as ready as we can be. And, if it doesn't happen, it just wasn't meant to be." And it was meant to be. And, if you can get Mr. Brereton to tell you the story about how this filly got her name -- JOHN ASHER: That's my next question.
