Jockey Anthony Delpech, jockey of third place finisher Vengeance of Rain said, "I had to come out at the 5/8 pole because another horse was coming back on me. Anyway he's run his heart out today but the other two were just too strong."

Yutaka Take, jockey of second place finisher Admire Moon said, "I had him settled well. He didn't jump from the gates too smoothly so I had him at the back and he quickened very well in the stretch. It was a great run but I'm very sorry to finish so close. He's still only a three-year-old colt so he is something to look forward to for the future."
