Jockey Corey Nakatani said, "The pace was pretty rapid. Our game plan never changed: we were going to the lead and try to kick clear. Unfortunately, the pace was too fast."

Trainer Nick Zito added, "If you look at 10,000 races, you'll never see that again. A :21 second quarter? Have you ever heard of that? At least go :44. I've never seen that as long as I've been coming to the track. The winner ran a great race. Once we cleared, I thought we would be okay. But the reason why we didn't stay clear is because they went the second quarter in :21. Hopefully, he'll come out all right. This was only his second race back. We'll see what happens."
