"I had him in the Kentucky Horse Park by the time he got to the gap, but when I got back to the barn [Velasquez] he was so excited," Tagg said. "I said to him 'What's wrong with him?' He said, 'I just eased up on him, the race is on Saturday.' "
This race has always been the plan since the Woodward. They did not want to run in the Woodward, but the owners did. The original plan was Hawthorne and an overnight at Saratoga. Another horse that was crushed in that grade 1, NaughtyNewYorker, won yesterday.
