Trainer
Jose Flores took over training duties for Eye On Corona just before the horse’s start in the Two Million trials. “Eye On Corona came to my barn about three weeks ago,” Flores said. “He came in good shape, and he’s a good horse. I was happy with the way he ran in his first start under the lights at Los Alamitos. (Jockey Rodrigo Aceves) has helped me a lot with this horse. We worked him out of the gate, and Rodrigo was happy with his work. He told me that the horse had amazing talent. I was first impressed with him in his last race at Ruidoso Downs. He broke terrible, and he made a ton of ground to finish in second place. We tried a couple of different things with him for this trial, and everything seems to have worked out well. If he comes back well and repeats this effort in the final, then we’ll be OK. He’s a very sound horse and thrilled with his race.” Flores has trained the winners of 939 races from 6,847 starts, with earnings of more than $10.4 million. His Grade 1 winners include West Coast Hawk, Startlet Hawk, Headturner, Blushin Bugs, IB Quick and A Tempting Dash. |
