Winning jockey Garrett Gomez said, "The horse ran a beautiful race. We got a good break. I was asking the horse for a little at the half (mile) point and we got going some. (Big Drama) clearly bumped me. All you have to do is watch the tape. In fact he bumped me twice. He did it at the 1/8 pole and again about 50 yards before the wire."

Trainer David Fawkes of Big Drama said, "What I saw was a new track record and I got taken down. Should he have stayed up? I don't know. I have to watch it again."
