Trainer Larry Jones added, "He ran good and the race set up perfectly for him. He picked up Cable Boy turning for home, but never really got a rest. Today he just got outrun. No excuses. He stumbled a little bit leaving the gate. Maybe he wasn't as close to Cable Boy as we wanted. We'll see how he comes out of this. He'll have a few races before (the Breeders' Cup Classic)."

Jockey Mario Pino said, "He ran a great race, he ran hard till
the end, he just couldn't hold off Any Given Saturday. My horse ran a
great race. I just let my horse cruise out of
the gate and he put me in a great spot. He hit the lead just in time for
his liking and he tried real hard till the end. He could have given up be
he kept pushing his head for second."
