The 11 position having won just two in seventy-five starts and zero since 1999.  This was the second lowest win percentage. 

Trainer Keith Desormeaux said of the post position:  “I’m fine with it. Kent (Desormeaux, his brother and his rider) seems a bit concerned because he’ll have to wait some after they load. But I don’t see a problem. The horse is as cool as a cucumber. It’ll be fine.”

Exaggerator is the winner of two big races including the Delta Downs Jackpot and Santa Anita Derby.
