Winning jockey Kent Desormeaux said, "It was a beautiful, uneventful trip. We were dreaming of this happening, an uneventful cruise down the front side the first time, with no alterations in course. He just slid over; he did it so within himself. He truly was in a gallop to the quarter pole. That's his maximum cruising speed. He added power to the stride when I needed it. You saw him out there. I'll let him do the talking. Talent-wise, he's the best horse I've ever ridden."
