Winning trainer Brian Meehan said, "He's a 5 year old horse now and he's proved himself with Group 1 and Grade 1 horses all his life. Everything is always easy with him. He hasn't been given the kudos he deserves since (winning) the Breeders' Cup (Turf in 2006). Today, he confirmed he is one of the best middle distance turf horses in the world and has been for the last two, three years. It is about beating the field and Curlin happened to be in there. Everybody loves a champion and today Red Rocks is a champion."
