Chrisman talks about winning his Triple Crown race on Digiturf.com!

Championship Series Interview with Chrisman! 

What did it feel like for you to win your Championship Series?
It felt great. Macka Dub came up short of a check last season but came thru nicely this season. Also, the hard luck Lord Stark went out early and refuse to quit. I knew he had it in him but was still a bit surprise. Overall, it was exhilarating. Thanks to Digi and of course all the participating owners. 

How optimistic were you about winning?
For the Triple Crown Classic, I thought I had a shot with a good trip. After The ground came up fast, my main concern was with AP Queen Of Pain (Karl Khoder) and Aleco (Cobarn) although Many of the entrants can hold their own. For the Triple Crown Stayers, I was a bit optimistic about winning with a good tip but had greater hope for Silver Sakura (2nd last season Juve) but Lord Stark rise to the occasion. I'm still feeling it! 

What routines do you follow before the race?
I look over the competitions just to get a feel for my chances. I share a victory with family and friends. 

What advice would you give other trainers?
I still prefer to keep preparation a trade secret but be patient and pay attention to the little details, like state of alums, blinks, fitness. These must be managed perfectly to ensure you best chance of winning. Wouldn't hurt to give Jack Ford's agent a call either. 

What would you do differently in future Championship Series?
At this point. No changes. But the game evolves so I may need to make adjustment down the road. 

How are you going to spend your winnings? 
I will be using the champ winnings to pay for my new laptop (a monster machine), although I need some new horses. 

Final Comments?
Great season...Congrats to all the winners and placers... 
Black Lotus had a super series (4 winners) - special congrats man. Well deserved. 
Nice going Filante with your two monsters. Great series Bigbob and a great double with Bob's Big Red. Bigup Maple Leaf Farms, Reddave and Paranoid (First Champ - wishing you many more). ...and of course Tuna (quiet giant) - great win. 

Have a great season 33 and may god bless all.
