Red Bullet -- Jockey Jerry Bailey
"My biggest concern was to get the jump on Fusaichi Pegasus. I was inside of him and I felt if we could beat him to the quarter pole, we could beat him to the wire." |
Fusaichi Pegasus -- Trainer Neil Drysdale
"It was a greasy kind of track and he just couldn't go with it." |
Impeachment -- Jockey Craig Perret
"I thought he was home at the quarter pole. He kicked it in and he really came on. We had a good trip and it turned out he was just the third best horse." |
Captain Steve -- Trainer Bob Baffert
"We tried something different today. We took him back, and he didn't run all that badly. But this is really too far for him." |
Snuck In -- Jockey Cash Asmussen
"I had so much horse under me, and when Red Bullet came within three-quarters of a length of us, my horse responded beautifully. The difference was Red Bullet kept going and we didn't." |
Hugh Hefner -- Jockey Victor Espinoza
"I wanted to go to the lead, and I was hoping I was going to have it by myself. That was our only hope. Maybe we could have stolen the race. But High Yield came to me and put on a lot of pressure." |
High Yield -- Jockey Pat Day
"He was in the game early, maybe a little more than we wanted. The winner went by me with complete authority, but my horse hung in there until the eighth pole, and then he got late." |
Hal's Hope -- Jockey Roger Velez
"We made our big move down the backside. He felt good doing it, but then he just flattened out." |
