All from Bloodhorse article: http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/94030/runhappy-romps-to-record-kings-bishop-score

"We were pretty confident going in," Borell remarked. "He couldn't have been training any better and we wouldn't have spent the money to come up here if we thought he couldn't win. I was a little nervous at the early fractions but I knew he could do it. We really prepared him well at home. I knew he was good, but that was really good."

Runhappy, who races without the anti-bleeding medication furosemide, was ridden by Hall of Fame jockey Edgar Prado as part of a 117-pound impost and returned $24.60, $13.80, and $6.70 at odds of 11-1.

"I don't like drugs and I don't want to run on Lasix if a horse doesn't need it," Borell told the Saratoga Special in their Aug. 29 edition. "Runhappy doesn't need it and he's run Lasix-free in all of his starts."

"The plan was to break good out of the gate," Prado said. "He was doing everything so easy and I was very confident in him going into the first turn. When he started pricking his ears and looking for competition, that made me feel good. When I asked him on the top of the stretch and he picked it up, I knew we were in good shape."

"I'm overwhelmed," Borell said. "I knew he was a good horse or we wouldn't have bought him up here. I'm just so lucky to have this opportunity now with this horse. I'd like to thank James McIngvale and his racing manager Laura Wohlers. He's just an amazing horse."

McIngvale is a previous Baffert owner who a decade ago or so filed suit against Baffert and bloodstock agents. Google it if you are interested in more details. I believe he owned Wimbledon, a Baffert Derby starter if memory serves.
