2008 Breeders' Cup World Championships Friday

Winning jockey Mike Smith said, "Even though I got pinched at the start, she got away in pretty good order. She was on the right lead. Believe it or not, I was very confident down the backstretch. Every time I moved my finger, she was right there. It was a matter of pulling the trigger. It was a little soon on my part, but I planned only for the fact that the inside horses were making their moves and were going to wheel out. If they wheeled out, they'd have taken me three or four wide, so I needed to make the move when I did, and I got the jump on them. I knew she was capable today. It was a phenomenal performance."

Trainer Chris Paasch added, "Her late run is devastating. She tears their hearts out. In three straight Grade 1 races now, she come from 15 lengths out of it and won exactly like she did today. I would think that clinches the 2-year-old championship but I'm not going to Disneyland, I'm coming back to the Breeders' Cup next year."
