2007 Belmont Stakes Undercard Part 1

Jockey John Velazquez said, "He was throwing his head up. So, I let him go at the 3/16 pole. I thought he was going to move on, but he started to wander around. He started fighting back when he saw the other horses. Then (Better Talk Now) got through on the inside. By then, there was nothing we could do."

Trainer Todd Pletcher added, "He's been a little bit unlucky in this race. The last two years, he's been beaten a couple of heads and a neck. He ran well first time back from Dubai. He's probably best at 1 3/8 to 1 1/2 miles."
