2006 Suburban Handicap and Mother Goose Stakes

Second and third place finishers Wild Desert and Andromeda's Hero gallop out after the finish of the Suburban. Wild Desert's trainer Richard Dutrow Jr. said, "He ran his race, and I have to be satisfied with the way he ran. I'm not going to make any excuses for him; there's no need to. He just got out-run and beaten by a better horse today. There's nothing to be ashamed in that. As for what's next, I really don't know what I'm going to do with him." Nick Zito who trains Andromeda's Hero said, "He is just a good horse that always keeps trying. The trick with him now is to see how races come up and to put him in the right spot. He is doing so well now, and his confidence level is high. You don't want to break that now. We'll look at races like the Whitney and the Woodward at Saratoga"
