2007 Queen's Plate Day

Jockey Todd Kabel said, "My horse's ears were pricked the whole race with me, I was quite happy the way he settled in. The other night, (trainer Kevin Attard) decided, if (Alezzandro) puts us (on the lead), leave him alone. He had me there the whole race. He was running comfortable. The last 1/16 mile got to us. He is a lightly-raced horse, and all three races came in a short period of time. Kevin and his crew did a tremendous job to have this horse ready for today. He is a big, robust horse too, and he's only going to get bigger and stronger." Trainer Kevin Attard added, "He ran a big race. It's tough to get beat that way. Todd (jockey Kabel) is a great rider. He gave him a great ride. What can I say? It was the third start in his life."
