Derby winner Barbaro and jockey Edgar Prado parade for the fans. Prado, winning his first Kentucky Derby, said, "Down the backside, he was just galloping along. I wasn't even moving my hands. He covers a lot of ground and was very happy every step of the way. I was thankful and excited. I think this is a special horse. I was celebrating, All the time he showed me the quality horse he is. Dreams come true. When I turned him loose, he took off running. Hopefully we can get a Triple Crown."
