Rushaway winner High Cotton in the winner's circle. Winning jockey Christopher DeCarlo said, "He puts himself into the race. He didn't break as alertly as I would have liked, but I was able to secure good position by the turn and on the backstretch he was just cruising along." Mike Dilger, assistant to winning trainer Todd Pletcher said, "We were a little surprised there wasn't more pace in the race. The horse ships to Keeneland tomorrow. Todd will decide on his future sometime shortly after that." Pletcher was at the Dubai World Cup.
