2010 Breeders' Cup World Championships Saturday Part 2

Winning jockey Garrett Gomez said, "He did everything really good. I mean, he overcame a lot. He stumbled to his nose leaving the gate. The horse (Rough Sailing) fell in front of him going to the first turn. He had to avoid that. I pretty much went to Plan C and just tried to let him gallop along and tried to come up with some kind of run, and hopefully, he could overcome as much as he could overcome. He actually turned in a brilliant performance."

Trainer Todd Pletcher added, "He stumbled badly at the start and had to maneuver (around) a fallen rider. At that point, you're just kind of hoping you can regroup and hit the board. He really exploded down the lane. We knew he had an explosive turn of foot. To me, he's been a colt that has been very talented but he's still learning. It was a matter of putting it all together and focusing on running straight. His last start was an improvement but you could still see that when he made the lead, he waited a little bit. He was doing a lot of things on natural talent but today, he really polished off the race at the end."
