Hes very talented, said trainer Rick Violette Jr. All the way down the backside, it looked like he was afraid of horses inside of him. I think he was tons the best today. I thought maybe when he turned the corner coming for home, he might finally cooperate and straighten out. He was still looking at them like they were ghosts inside of him and he wanted to get away from them. For him to be second is pretty miraculous.
I guess this rules out any kind of equipment problem. Still haven't seen any comments from the jockey.
