Trainer Barclay Tagg added, "We always though he was a good horse. Last time, we took him to the Louisiana Derby. He got a little tangled up in the gate there and ran a disappointing race. We still felt good about him, and we worked out some of those issues in the gate. He showed up today big time. I thought War Pass was the horse to beat. It was nice to see Inner Light go after War Pass. We were laying a little closer than I wanted him to be, but Edgar has an intuitiveness that has served him pretty well for the last 30 years. I have a group of horses in Lexington and he'll ship down there tomorrow morning. Big Brown and War Pass are both in the Derby; that might work out well for us."
Tagg also trains last year's Wood winner, Nobiz Like Shobiz.
