Winning owner Jess Jackson said, "Kentucky horsemen appreciate this horse. What he stands for is a classic champion and we'll see how great he is because he is not fully defined."

Trainer Steve Asmussen added, "It's such an honor to be involved with this horse - he is such a beautiful animal. I’m so thankful to (owners) Mr. Jackson and the whole Stonestreet group and Midnight Cry to bring him back as a 4 year-old and just letting us enjoy him."

Asked about what it is like to train Curlin, he added, "A dream of a lifetime. You know, you are very fortunate to be involved with this sport to begin with, let alone to have an animal as special as he is."
