John Velazquez aboard beaten favorite Commentator said, "He tried so hard, it was unbelievable, but it set up for someone else. He put out everything I asked him to give. By the 1/8 pole he started to really flatten out a little bit. By the 1/16 pole I said, man I hope he can hang on a little longer, but the other one had a little bit more than we did. He didn't give up, he kept running, that's for sure."
