As the horses went by the first time, Ramazutti was on the lead with favorite Relaxed Gesture on the rail. Relaxed Gesture's jockey Kent Desormeaux, who looks like he is fighting the horse at this point, said, "I had (Ramazutti) eye-balling me the whole way. I wasn't enjoying my position. I tried to get away from him and open up and get him to settle, but he kept engaging me. I was never comfortable at any point. When I finally got out, he had nothing left." Relaxed Gesture ultimately finished fifth.
