Unfortunately, popular U.S. horse Lava Man was in contention most of the way but had to be eased in the stretch. Jockey Corey Nakatani said, "With about 3 1/2 furlongs left to run he said I've had enough, and that is just not him. It is disappointing. He's just such a good horse. For him to run like that, it's hard to take."
