More Quotes from Garrett Gomez:
There wasn't anybody going to beat Sinister Minister today. No one. Bob had him sharp and ready to roll, and he was much the best. I thought I went fast enough that as long as I had him going, I might as well keep him going and not give anybody a chance to get close to him.Garrett Gomez

She handled the track OK, but she wasn't skipping over it. I let her settle and took my time. I knew there was a lot of speed and when I dropped her in at the three-eighths pole, it was just a matter of finding a spot for her. I did and she did the rest.
