A P Valentine (2nd)
"As I've always said, he got nothing out of the Kentucky Derby, but 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.

Richly Blended (10th)
"He stayed with them as long as he could. I didn't push him in the 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.
