Gustav Dahl, winning jockey of Portrade (No. 5): "The idea was to have an easy pace. He likes to be on the front end and settles away once he can't hear pressure behind him. That's why he wears the hood as well; to dampen some of that noise. But here's there when you ask him. He jumps phenomenally and he just kept his forward momentum going, stayed on and dug in."

On winning a Grade 1 at Saratoga Race Course: "It's a dream come true."
