Winning jockey Victor Espinoza said, "On the first turn I knew the pace was slow. Then, turning for home when no one was coming to me, I knew we were going to win the race. Any time there's a slow pace, he's hard to catch. This was the second easiest win I've ever had, the first was the (2002) Kentucky Derby on War Emblem." When asked about why his boots did not match, Espinoza explained, "When I unpacked my things, I had only one boot so I had to borrow one from Rene Douglas. You can see one has a red top and the other a black top."
