Trainer Eoin Harty added, "I was so focused on watching my horse, I didn't see Curlin. I felt like I won. It was more than I thought I could do. It was a fantastic race. Sometimes, it pays to take a shot."

Jockey Edgar Prado said, "Eoin Harty was impressed with the way his horse ran against Curlin. We came out of the gate and looked around to see where everyone was in the race. When Curlin came at us, we tried to pick it up more. Curlin is tough. My horse kept trying against him and didn't want to give up."
