Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin said, "We were very happy that he was able to
close, that's his style. It looks like he will like a mile and a quarter and
we are sure looking forward to the opportunity. Jockey Fernando Jara said, "I
needed just a little more distance. After the wire, he passed the other horse
(Bob and John). I would love to see him go to the Kentucky Derby; a mile and a
quarter would be a perfect distance for him. I thought he had a chance to win
when he made his move. I'm very happy with this race."
