Trainer H. Graham Motion added, "It was just a little unlucky that we had to come so wide. Ramon made the decision to go wide, and suddenly, it became very wide. The winner got the trip up the rail, but he was also steadied. I feel like we had a little bit of an excuse, but I can't take anything away from the winner."
