2007 Wood Memorial and Carter Handicap

Winning trainer Barclay Tagg said, "I think he was more focused today. He did everything properly. (Jockey Cornelio Velasquez) throttled him back a little bit. I'm glad that he did. I didn't want him to get into a duel. He didn't gallop away by ten, but he had a pretty well bred horse chasing him. He'll be fine now. I never get overly confident about anything. So many things can happen in a race. I had a pretty good feeling about him today. I thought he would do what he did and I would have been really disappointed if he didn't."

Tagg said that he intends to ship Nobiz Like Shobiz to Churchill Downs as late as possible. "I don't like to go down and mess around with that crowd. It's hard on the horses to be chased around all day, every day."
