Trainer Carl Nafzger added, "We were right there and we got beat. We came up here to win the race. Let's not make excuses. That's horse racing. I think it was a great run. We ran a good race. We're ready to go on. It was up to him at the head of the lane to get by Hard Spun. I thought he could do it. But, it was hard to get by anyone all day. He just outran us. I just think Larry's horse ran a better race than we did and I mean it. There are a lot of excuses when you lose, but let's put it this way. When you get beat you get beat."

Jockey Calvin Borel said, "You can't go that slow (early) and catch a horse like that. Don't worry, my horse will show up in 4 weeks. He always struggles a bit on Polytrack, but that sets him up perfectly. I ain't worried about it. In 4 weeks, he'll be a different horse."
