Winning jockey Robby Albarado said, "I just let him gather
himself up. I was confident the whole race. It looked like Lawyer Ron
got a little rank down the backstretch, so I just sat behind him. Johnny
(Velazquez) made his move and I just followed suit. Curlin loves being
outside, so I was pretty confident during the stretch drive. It feels
great to beat a great horse; Lawyer Ron is a great horse. He ran in all
three Triple Crown races and could have been a little dull going into
the Haskell. Steve freshened him up and passed up some
opportunities to run him today. Steve's done a great job campaigning him."
