Preakness Stakes On The Record

"We wanted to find out where he fit and the Peter Pan has historically been a good prep for the Belmont. He earned his way in if he comes out of this well and trains accordingly."

Trainer Todd Pletcher after Madefromlucky won the G2 Peter Pan S. at Belmont Park

"I think [he's a Belmont Stakes horse]. The way he did it today, why not? He finished very well; he finished strong and galloped out strong. I think it was a perfect prep for the Belmont. Now it's up to the owner and trainer."

"Johnny [Velazquez] said [Two Weeks Off] was a little bit fresh. He's a little bit inexperienced."

"We were ready to rumble. Since their last works I was hearing how good they were and I was hoping it would come true. I felt very confident going in."

Conditioner Bob Baffert on finishing first and third, respectively, with American Pharoah and Dortmund in the G1 Kentucky Derby

"I feel like the luckiest Mexican on Earth. He has been a special horse since the first time I rode him. He has a lot of talent and is an unbelievable horse. Turning for home I started riding a little harder. At the eighth pole, I just couldn't put that other horse (Firing Line) away, but he got it done."

Jockey Victor Espinoza on winning the Kentucky Derby aboard American Pharoah

"It is disappointing, for sure. But on the other hand I'm very proud of how well my horse ran. Gary (Stevens) rode a great race, he had him in the right spot. We just got beat. I didn't expect him to be as close as he was, but I knew Gary had him right. We tried all the way. Tough beat."

Trainer Simon Callaghan on Firing Line's second-place finish in the Kentucky Derby

"Going into that first turn, he was pulling hard. I looked over and saw that Martin's horse (Martin Garcia on Dortmund) was pulling just as hard as mine. I eased back off him a little bit and gave both horses some breathing room. He (Firing Line) was aggressive today. He was on it. Coming for home I thought I might get there, but it wasn't to be. My horse showed his braveness today. He just got beat. I'm very proud of him."

Jockey Gary Steven's on Firing Line's runner-up effort in the Kentucky Derby

"He's a really good horse and he ran like it today. He always comes to run; that's the kind of horse he is. He got beat today by really good horses. That can happen."

"He ran very well. He had a good trip. We finished fourth. He may have been a little far back. It's hard to say, but we didn't have a rough trip. He was just a little wide on the turn."

Conditioner Kiaran McLaughlin on Frosted's fourth-place trip in the Kentucky Derby

"He had a good trip. He didn't have any trouble. He tried really hard and finished strong."

Jockey Joel Rosario on Frosted's fourth-place finish in the Kentucky Derby

"I tell you Julien [Leparoux] rode him great, he put him in position to win. He just wasn't good enough today, but I'm still very proud of him."

Trainer Mark Casse on Kentucky Derby fifth-place finisher Danzig Moon

"He was running good we got pushed back a little bit in the first turn, but actually that ended up being perfect because we sat up front around the first turn and second turn. We had a real good trip."
