2009 Lane's End Stakes Day

By Cindy Pierson Dulay, About.com Guide

Jockey Israel Ocampo said, "I got a perfect trip. I settled down exactly where I wanted to be down the backside. For a second I thought I was going to get the job done, but that other horse came flying. I switched to the left hand stick when I heard him coming, but he just passed by me. I have no excuse. I told Wayne (Lukas, trainer) this horse is getting better and better. He's definitely improving. He's shown he can do it sprinting and running long and on Polytrack too."
