Winning jockey C. C. Lopez said, "I thought he was going to run good because he ran so well last time. I don't think I rode the best of races on him last time. He's a good horse, and I knew if I was allowed to get away the way I did, he would be tough to get by. He doesn't really want to be hit. I hit him left-handed one time and he resented it. As soon as I went back to hand riding him, he just took off again."
