Kentucky Derby

Z HUMOR: The longest shot in the field at 63-1 never shook loose. "We were in really close quarters," jockey Rene Douglas said. "I know I was behind a horse and I kept getting bumped."

COOL COAL MAN: Well positioned early but empty in the stretch. "We saved all the ground we could but he didn't fire," jockey Julien Laparoux said. "I think maybe it was a little too long."

BOB BLACK JACK: Set the pace before fading on the final turn. "Anytime I put a little pressure on him, he bobbled," jockey Richard Migliore said.

GAYEGO: The Arkansas Derby winner had traffic trouble on the first turn. "I was never in it," jockey Mike Smith said.

BIG TRUCK: Raced in midpack for much of the race before stopping. "I ran out of gas," jockey Javier Castellano said

ADRIANO: Was never a factor.

MONBA: The Blue Grass winner lacked a rally. "My horse just didn't run any good," jockey Ramon Dominguez said.
