Winning trainer Todd Pletcher said, "It was a big race for him. He's a horse
that has always had a great deal of talent, and it has been a little
frustrating from time to time. It was good to see him dig in gamely today and
hold on for the win. We'll keep him sprinting at six and seven furlongs."
Jockey Jose Santos added, "The track is perfect for these kinds of horses. I
just let him come out of there. He had great speed. He was a better horse
today. The last sixteenth of a mile, he saw the other horses coming and he
gave an extra effort. He was huge today."
