Winning trainer Graham Motion said, "I thought he was extremely impressive. Edgar gave him a beautiful ride. We had to stay a little bit closer because you didn't want to come from off the pace today. I thought that played right into our hands, because I know at that pace he can go all day. Turning for home I gave him a huge chance. I knew 1 1/8 miles was well within his reach. The Lexington is something we will definitely consider. The horse showed that on his day he can be brilliant. I thought another key was that he was very good in the paddock. He's very hot-blooded. In the Fountain of Youth, he kind of fell apart that day. The fact that he was good today made a big difference."
