Trainer Nick Zito added, "He ran a great race. It was unbelievable. I thought that coming for home, I told Kim, my wife, I think we're home. We got really excited. There are mixed emotions (about finishing second again in the Whitney). I was happy walking through the grandstand. The fans were rooting. It's a great race. It's prestigious to be in the race. We got beat by a horse that ran unbelievable. What are you going to do? That's racing."
2007 Whitney and Go For Wand Handicaps
By Cindy Pierson Dulay, About.com
Jockey Rafael Bejarano said, "My horse had the
speed, but I didn't want to let him go so fast. When I was on the lead,
I tried to relax him, but it was still so fast. When I came to the turn
and I let him go, that horse (Lawyer Ron) started running hard. He fired
today, but the other horse had a lot of class, too."
