Trainer Josie Carroll said, "At the start of the year there was some question, would he or wouldn't he (get the distance). After his last race, I had tremendous confidence in this horse. He rallied at a mile and an eighth and we thought we have a shot." She continued, "The fractions were so fast, I was getting concerned, the horse looked comfortable all the way, when they turned for home, and he picked it up, I said, you know what, we are going all the way."
