Trainer Frank Brothers added, "He had a good trip. He's been a pretty unlucky colt in his last three or four races. He just hasn't had the best of trips. Today he had a very good trip and showed guts to get there. He got the trip and that's what made the difference. He saved the ground. This horse is a hard trier. I don't know what will be next. He's not Derby nominated. We may take a look at the Lexington."

Winning jockey Rene Douglas said, "This horse proved today that he's a very good horse. He's getting better with every race. I watched his races and noticed that when he gets in front, he tries to pull himself up a little bit, so I took my time. So when I made my move, I tried to time it just right, and at the 1/16 pole I saw (Miner's Claim) was going to come back, so I think we timed it perfectly."
