Jockey Garrett Gomez said, "He was a little keen with me. Once I got him outside, he was nice and relaxed and traveling well. About the 1/2 mile pole when I needed horse, he just kind of stayed.

Trainer Saeed bin Suroor said, "I don't
like to make excuses. There's nothing we can tell right now. Maybe it
was the ground, or maybe his throat. We're headed back to the barn now."
