Vanderbilt result cont. "Last year's Vanderbilt was a good opportunity for him, and I thought he was unfortunate not to win that day,@ said winning trainer Steve Asmussen. AFor everything to work out, to have him in this position today--a good draw, a good set up--was very rewarding. I can't say enough about how much respect I have for Justin Phillip as a racehorse. He hasn't held any of the mistakes we made with him against us. We were trying to win the Derby with him when he was three! He has a lot of talent, and you want to get that done. For him to travel as much as he has, run as fast as he has, and probably put up his best race today-- 1:08 2/5 in a Grade I, put him over a million dollars--it's very rewarding." "It was very good,@ pilot Johnny Velazquez said of the ride. AThe speed developed the way I expected it would. I was right behind those two horses [Gentlemen's Bet and Delaunay], and I was aware of the horse that was inside [Bahamian Squall], so I kind of got him pinned down inside there. I made my move around the three-sixteenths pole, and he responded. When you ride these kinds of horses, and they respond to the things you want to do, it makes me look good." Tom Amoss, who trains fourth-place finisher Delaunay commented, "I thought he broke sharp and had very good position. They were going fast, but he's used to that. When he hadn't separated himself from the field by the eighth pole, I knew we were in trouble. I'm going to give him a little time. His last two races weren't good and he's telling us something."
