JOCKEY ROCCO BOWEN, PRINCESS KENNEDY, WINNER: “I never took any of these horses for granted. Tom (Wenzel) and I, we always handicap each race. We knew (My Heart Goes On) was the speed of the race and when she didn’t break well I was even more relaxed. I was following Isaias (Enriquez) and he had a good trip and I had a clean trip. It was all really smooth. Everybody on the team did a great job and this is a good horse.”
