“It’s unbelievable, I’ve been waiting all my life to ride a winner in a race like this. It’s a privilege to be connected to such a class horse. I always felt last year in the [Kentucky] Derby if he hadn’t missed the break he would have won so this is redemption for him. It was really important to get a good jump today. I didn’t expect that he was going to be able to travel so well behind the leaders. It took him a little while to get going but then he ran them home.”
–David Egan, jockey on the horse Mishriff after winning the Saudi Cup over the weekend, the world’s richest race with a prize worth $20 million. [racingpost.com]
