The thing I=m most proud of is for this horse to run this well in his third lifetime start, first time around two turns and first time in a stake. It was a very, very good effort.

AThat was a tough decision. I did think [Upstart] would get taken down because he really bothered me,@ offered Saez, who had never before won a graded stakes race for the powerful Pletcher barn. AWhen we came into the stretch, I felt like my horse wanted to run, so I thought we'd win the race. But the other horse came out and bothered me. I couldn't ride my horse. He's a little better on the outside. Today there Fountain of Youth S. cont. was a little speed outside of us so we had to play with Away well, Itsaknockout pressed Bluegrass Singer that. At the three-eighths he really responded." Cont. p4 (Bluegrass Cat) briefly before dropping back several slots into a joint third with Upstart to his outside and longshot Juan and Bina (Indian Charlie) along the rail. Frosted (Tapit) inched away ominously after six furlongs in 1:11.65, and seemed en route to victory at the head of the lane as Upstart and Itsaknockout began to rev up. The leader hit a wall in upper stretch, and was immediately tackled by Upstart with Itsaknockout joining the fray as the tiring Frosted caused a mild chain reaction. Upstart and Itsaknockout pulled away to settle the issue, and while the latter never got closer to the favorite than about a half-length, he was forced to tap on the brakes when the GII Holy Bull S. romper came out in deep stretch while receiving left-handed encouragement.

We=ve been taken down in a tough beat with Take the Points (Even the Score) here in [the 2010 GI Gulfstream Park Turf H.], but this is a little bit of redemption. I think the second time that he interfered with him a little bit was the clincher in my mind. It seemed like Luis had a little problem staying in the saddle. He definitely ran a winning race. He had the momentum and he was coming. We knew he had the talent, but you have to always wonder until they do it. This sealed it. We had never won this race and naturally it gives us a lot of aspirations for going to the [GI Kentucky] Derby. We=re just excited for all the partners. We had a big crowd here today. We really rolled the bones and it paid off.@ Upstart=s trainer was, understandably, displeased by the stewards= decision. ABad call,@ he said. They have to understand that when the horse gets hit behind the girth, the only place the horse can go is to the right. It's disappointing. The horse ran great, we just don't get credit for it. Don't know what's next, but we might have to go to New York." The winner=s dam is a half to Grade II winner Rush Bay (Cozzene).
