Jockey Richard Hills said, "He ran a fine race and if anything he is better than last year. There was one split up the fence but that didn't work out and then the filly came and the gap closed a bit. He did great to finish second and it would be a good idea to bring him back around here again next season."

Owner Jaber Abdullah added, "He is a great horse but she is a really great filly."

Racing manager Bruce Raymond added, "(The traffic) didn't cost him the race. The winner is an exceptional filly. He won't run again this year."
