Jockey Javier Castellano said, "He ran a great race, I'm really happy for him. He was just second best today. The winner was much the best today. He never came back to me. (Hard Spun) is a classy horse."

Trainer Bobby Frankel added, "He did great. He ran hard and he actually got a head in front. But experience got us beat today. He put in a good performance and I was happy with him."
