Trainer Mike Harrington said, "I thought the horse ran a helluva race. I thought Joel (Rosario) rode him perfectly. The other horse beat us today, but will he beat us next time? I don't know. He was more focused (without blinkers). I mean, he never bobbled today. He ran his race. He just got outrun. That happens in this sport. He's not tired. He'll come out of this race. He ran such a huge race last time (San Felipe), he couldn't improve on that race too much. I mean, how far can you go? He ran a zero Thoro-Graph in the last race, so how much further can you go?"
