Winning trainer Todd Pletcher said, "It was a huge win. He came out of the Kentucky Derby with a pretty good foot bruise. It took us a while to get him over that. Then, it was a matter of picking out a game plan and put him in the best position going forward. We felt like the freshening from the Derby would be good for him, and obviously, it was. It's nice to have a horse that's tactical as this. When there is not a lot of pace, he can be right there. When there is a lot of pace, he can settle. That's what makes a horse like this a little extra dangerous. He can dictate the race and he doesn't need it to set up any particular way."

Pletcher said he would start next in either the Haskell at Monmouth or the Jim Dandy at Saratoga.
