2007 Jockey Club Gold Cup and Beldame Stakes

Winning trainer Steve Asmussen said, "We felt very good about how this race unfolded. There was no pace in the (Belmont Stakes), and he was stuck down on the inside. Those are nothing but excuses for a horse that got beat. Today, he ran extremely well. Coming off the two months, he carried Robby a lot farther. When he came into the stretch, you saw him slap him with the stick down and he jumped right into the bridle. I think he is an outstanding horse, and he proved so once again today. The third in the Haskell and the third in the Kentucky Derby were against horses whose form had held up. We'll all meet in a month's time, probably to decide a lot of honors. Hopefully, it didn't take too terribly much out of him and he'll be sharp for the Classic."
