 Blame wins the Classic over Zenyatta |
Winning trainer Al Stall Jr. said, "Everything went our way. A clean break, nice pace, made the lead, held her off, and galloped off in front of her. We've seen that kind of performance before. He's very consistent. We're just glad to be here." Jockey Garrett Gomez added, "I followed Lookin at Lucky and another horse going into the turn all the way to the top of the stretch. I pointed him in between a little gap that I had, and when I did he just jumped into the bridle and took me too them. I was just trying to hold the wonder horse off and give her her first defeat."

 Goldikova wins the Mile for the third time |
Trainer Freddie Head, who won this race in twice as a jockey aboard Miesque and now three times as a trainer with Goldikova, said, "It's quite unreal. She's amazing, she can do anything. It's too good to be true. I'm very emotional. I was the first jockey to win this race twice with a mare, and now I'm the trainer of a mare winning (this race) three times. It's unreal. We don't know how good this filly is. She's extraordinary. I don't have the words." Winning jockey Olivier Peslier said, "Right now, she is the best filly in the world. First my filly, and now it's (up) to Zenyatta. I didn't want to ask too much of her (early). She was wide on the turn but after that she relaxed behind the pace. On the last turn, she was flying and she kept running. I don't know the words to describe what it feels like to ride a champion like that."

 Dangerous Midge wins the Turf for the second time |
Winning jockey Frankie Dettori said, ""I had a great trip. The blinkers kept him alive, but he didn't handle the corners very well. He's such a big horse. I kept him balanced and we had no pressure all the way. In the straight it took him a long time to motor, but we got there in the end. It felt really good to get this one. He's a nice horse." Trainer Brian Meehan added, "We're happy. We know he was quick enough on the straight and Frankie kept him balanced on the bends. He's talented and has been improving and improving. We've always liked this horse and we've just been developing him all the way through. This is a big galloping track. I wanted to be one off the lead, so he was ridden perfectly."

 Dakota Phone (outside) wins the Dirt Mile over Morning Line |
Winning trainer Jerry Hollendorfer said, "The last time I ran him on dirt (Oaklawn Handicap), I sent him to the lead, which I shouldn't have done; this horse wants to come from off the pace. This is why he won. He got fortunate and got a good pace up front, and then he got outside and ran them down." Jockey Joel Rosario added, "The way he runs, I knew I'd wind up going outside. When we did, I got a good run from him. He was running well when I got up to (Morning Line) and I thought I could go past him. I was 90 percent sure, and then he got him."

 Uncle Mo wins the Juvenile |
Winning trainer Todd Pletcher said, "That was as impressive as they get. It was an unbelievable performance; crazy fast like he's been doing all along. He runs really fast for a long time. He was right there and they were going quick all the way. Johnny pushed the button on the turn and he had another gear. When Johnny turned for home, I felt like we were in good shape. I don't get goosebumps very often, but I had them today." Jockey John Velazquez added, "That was definitely special. We had so much hope for this horse, and for him to come here and do it the
way he did it today, that was special. He galloped out very good. This is a special horse. We have to take it step-by-step. The Derby is too far away to even think about it. Let's see if we get there."

 Big Drama wins the Sprint |
Winning jockey Eibar Coa said, "He always gets out of the gate good and has speed to get good position. Today, he broke sharp and we got the lead and kept going. He did everything on his own to the stretch. When the rest started coming to me, he just pushed harder and won." Trainer David Fawkes added, "I wanted him off the rail and he
floated him off the rail. He did everything perfectly. He went wire-to-wire; how about that? After his layoff that's when we started to sprint him. I was pretty confident in him after his last work at Calder, a deeper, more tiring track."

 Chamberlain Bridge wins the Turf Sprint |
Winning trainer Bret Calhoun said, "He found a seam late. Going down the backside he was retreating like I thought he would do, and I was absolutely concerned. I didn't think he had much chance and the horses in front of him were not opening up (a hole) for him. This was great." Jockey Jamie Theriot added, "It was great. He's a
horse that doesn't like to be on the inside, so I just worked my out and worked my way out. Turning for home, I had a big seam, and as soon as he saw daylight he was a different horse – he just hit gears. This has just been unbelievable. I'm two-for-two this year. I give a lot of credit to Bret Calhoun. He's been very loyal to me."

 Pluck wins the Juvenile Turf |
Winning jockey Garrett Gomez said, " "He did everything really good, he overcame a lot. He stumbled to his nose leaving the gate. (Rough Sailing) fell in front of him going to the first turn. He had to avoid that. I just tried to let him gallop along and tried to come up with some kind of run, and hopefully, he could overcome as much as he could overcome. He actually turned in a brilliant performance." Trainer Todd Pletcher added, "He stumbled badly at the start and had to maneuver (around) a fallen rider. At that point, you're just kind of hoping you can regroup and hit the board. He really exploded down the lane. He's been a colt that has been very talented but he's still learning. It was a matter of putting it all together and focusing on running straight."
