Silver Train poses in the winner's circle. Trainer Richard Dutrow Jr. said,
"Edgar (Prado) has such a knack for knowing what to do and when to do it. I
was sweating, but he dug down and got it done. It was beautiful." Dutrow
pointed out that Silver Train is a horse for the course: "I haven't seen a
horse of this caliber love a track so much, and that's great for us. If this
race were run at Aqueduct or anywhere else in the world, I'm sure he would
have gotten beat. I have to look at the Suburban. I have to look for as many
good races for him here as possible. He's not going to go up to Saratoga. I
don't know why he wouldn't get 1 1/4. I guess I'll find out at the 1/8 pole."
