alas, there wont be a triple crown this year. super saver ran a great race at first; then faded away.
"he had a perfect trip, perfect trip. i mean i wouldnt have changed it for nothing in the world. you know. he just come up a little empty ... he run so hard in the derby you know. its not a big horse like [trainer] todd [pletcher] said.

but you know but when you win the derby you got to go for three legs ... i mean i'm not disgusted with the horse, believe what i'am telling you, he's a good horse and we'll have fun with him in the future -- you know he just come up empty today ...

i wouldnt have changed positions with nobody in the first half-a-mile. the track is kinda fast, they were running fast all day so, but i was comfortable and when i asked him he just kinda folded up you know but it happens -- horse racing."

~ calvin borel, super saver, no 8, finished eighth
according to nbc sports, the winning jockey, martin garcia, is 25 years old. mr. garcia previously worked at a delicatessen in california before he was convinced to go to the track and "try his hand, first as an exercise rider and then as a jockey."
