Trainer Greg Fox said, "He's had a long year and didn't have quite the punch he had in previous races. Garrett thought he felt great but the last punch wasn't there. I'm sure he'll be fine. We'll probably just skip the next race cycle, he's run every month, and we'll save him for the first week in October, and hopefully regain the punch by the fall. He certainly didn't disgrace himself. The two European horses ran great. He was never able to shake free completely, maybe that softened us up a little bit early."

Jockey Garrett Gomez added, "Everything went as planned until I had to call on him. He was dull today. He just didn't respond when I asked him. He's had a hard campaign and he's run some good races for us. Greg is going to do what is right by him and regroup a little."
