Winning trainer Bob Baffert said, "We said 'Let's see how he works,' and Garrett (Gomez) worked him unbelievable. I called (co-owner) Bernie (Schiappa) and said 'Get the jet ready, we are coming.' He's been here, he loves the surface, it's soft. We knew we were going to get the lead. I was hoping to get like a 23 and change (first quarter). He's pretty fast, that's how he likes to run. When he got to the quarter pole I thought 'Son of a gun, you might win the Blue Grass.'"
