Winning jockey Jody Petty said, “I was keeping him in check early on and made him jump a couple short to stay in behind. On the backside, I told him we could go jump his way and he just pinged all three of those fences and ran away from them. Coming up the last turn, I thought I had given him a little bit of a breather. I kicked him on again, I looked back before the last fence and they weren't getting there. I was pretty surprised at that. All I had to do was keep him together to get him over the last hurdle.”
