2007 Preakness Results

Winning trainer Steve Asmussen said, "Every day this horse has run he has done something like this. This is the norm for him. In the Derby we were third, hats off to the winner. He deserves the credit for winning the Derby just like Curlin deserves credit for winning the Preakness. He stumbled away, he was a little further back than we want. Robby had to guide him around the tight turns here. He does have a tendency of getting out. And once he went to hit right lead he was good enough to win a classic and that's who he is. It puts him in, now everybody feels about him the way we always have. I am extremely pleased where he is right now. He has been very healthy, very sound, very sound of mind as well as body and that's what we are looking to continue with him."

Asmussen did not commit to starting in the Belmont, but did say "We hope that's possible but, of course, the horse comes back well. This is the stage this horse was meant for and I think that his races will be used in that caliber of race."
