Dullahan in the winner's circle

Winning trainer Dale Romans said, "This is a special horse, and we've known it all along. We felt like he was a Grade 1-caliber racehorse. He showed it today. When you can overcome adversity and win a Grade 1, you're a really good horse. I thought he'd be laying a little closer to the pace. He closed more ground than I expected. We've really had high hopes for this horse. He's trained like a top horse all along. His half-brother (Mine That Bird) won the (2009 Kentucky) Derby."
