2006 Opening Weekend at Saratoga

Winning jockey Javier Castellano said, "He did it so easily. I have a lot of confidence in this horse. Looking at his workout and the way he looked in the paddock, I knew he was ready. I was worried about saving him for the Travers. I didn't want to beat him up. At the top of the stretch, I could hear everyone trying to come after me. I decided to wait as long as I could. It was just perfect. He is such a classy horse. He felt just like he did in the Preakness. After the race, he was so calm and he wasn't blowing."
