2007 Belmont Stakes Results

Jockey John Velazquez aboard Rags to Riches said, "I was trying to keep Curlin in there the best as I could. I was actually trying to block him in there and trying to outrun him down the lane. He got through on the rail when he got through, so I made my move also. It was sometimes you got to play the way it looks. He was the horse to beat in the race. You got to look for the horse. I was very fortunate that the filly was running really well around the turn. I got to wait and look where he was. Once he made his move, I made my move, and, you know, she overcame everything. She showed what kind of horse she was."
