Winning owner Ron Winchell said, "The race went just as I hoped it would. He broke clean and was close to the pace. It looked like that's where you wanted to be all day. He has a good late kick as long as he doesn't use it too early. We'll talk things over with Steve (Asmussen, regarding the Breeders' Cup)."

Asmussen, who was at Belmont Park to saddle Curlin in the Jockey Club Gold Cup, later announced that Zanjero would enter the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile.
