Both jockeys went out with no instructions, and I was happy to let them do what they wanted, ride their own race. They were setting it up to be a hell of a race. It’s disappointing for Rich, the public — it’s disappointing for us all. It was just one of those things and Paul was lucky not to be brought down. Paul was happier that he was back to himself. He only does whatever he has to do, and only wins a length or two when he’s right. Paul never waivers from him. There was never any question (which horse he was going to ride).
