2008 Peter Pan Stakes and Bold Ruler Handicap

Casino Drive was fractious in the paddock before the race. Jockey Kent Desormeaux said, "That was just playful exuberance. There wasn't a hair turned on his body." Nobutaka Tada, representative for owner Hidetoshi Yamamoto added, "He's only had one race, and this is the first time he's been nervous, here in New York. He'll be okay next time."
