NWSS KNIGHTS CHOICE STAKES
SUNDAY, JULY 18, 2010

JOCKEY RICKY FRAZIER, CARRABELLE HARBOR, WINNER: “She had to overcome a couple of mistakes today. I knew she had a ton of speed. If she broke sharp, she would have been two lengths in front. She broke a step slow, so I just settled her behind the leaders. At the three-eighths pole, I knew I had (Iforgottobeme) beaten. I just had to make sure we didn't' lose to anyone coming from behind. Winning this race for the fifth straight time is just a tribute to the trainers. I really appreciate the opportunity they gave me to ride their good 2-year-olds.”
