Winning trainer Bobby Frankel said, "He ran like we always thought he could run. I was shocked that he ran as good as he did. He has been stopping in his last two races. I was waiting for him to start slowing down, but he kept on going. As fast as he is today, he'll go probably go right to the Breeders' Cup. I was concerned about the 1-post, but he broke with the field and dragged him to the lead. Obviously, he likes this track."
