today he really dug in for Victor (Espinoza). Now he's back on track."
-- trainer Nick Zito.
Conagree
(3rd)
"He broke so hard, the ground broke under him. My horse never gave
up. He just wasn't as quite good as the winner." -- jockey Jerry Bailey.
Dollar Bill (4th)
"I'm a little disappointed. He should have been right there at the
finish, but he got bothered on the backstretch." -- trainer Dallas Stewart.
Griffinite (5th)
"I thought he ran really well. It looked like he got into trouble on
the second turn. But we were happy, he ran well." -- trainer Jennifer
Leigh-Pedersen.
Monarchos (6th)
"After a 16th of a mile, I said `Uh oh, there is trouble here."' --
jockey Jorge Chavez.
Marciano (7th)
"This was a lot of fun. I had the best seat in the house today. He
had a good race and it was great for a horse like this to run in this race
because he needed to learn from it." -- jockey Mark Johnston.
Bay Eagle (8th)
"It was a good effort by him. He beat three horses." -- jockey Ramon
Dominguez.
Percy Hope (9th)
"We came to try and away we go. Iowa Derby, here we come." -- trainer
Tony Reinstedler.

stretch because he was showing me a little stress." -- jockey Rick Wilson.
Mr. John (11th)
"In this situation, I just hope he comes back OK." -- trainer Elliot
Walden.
