2008 Breeders' Cup World Championships Saturday Part 1

Winning jockey Frankie Dettori said, "Perhaps it's a bit of fate that it was 10 years ago that I got beat with Swain, and that didn't go down very well. And I got close with Sakhee. You know, 10 years down the line I had a third chance and didn't want to let it slip. I had a good horse, I had a good partner. You know, I'm a little bit older, and I'm not say wiser, but more experienced. So I was able to tackle the challenge, I had more serene, and get the job done. "

Trainer John Gosden added, "What a day to cherish. Santa Anita is our home away from home. We were here for 11 years. I was very confident that we'd be in the top three. He's been improving over the fall. He's been training better and better. Mentally, he's more mature. Sometimes things just go right."
