Trainer Todd Pletcher added, "Scat Daddy broke a half-step slow and rushed up and had to steady a bit and was part of that speed duel. I thought he was the one horse that finished up well out of the speed duel. I think this puts both horses right at the top of the class." Asked where his two top juveniles will go next, he said, "I'm not sure what we'll do. I'm not crazy about the Champagne being three weeks before the Breeders' Cup. It's possible that one might run in there and it's possible that neither may run in there."

Jockey John Velazquez said, "I can't
explain what happened to him. I didn't think he was going to run after
he stumbled. I was trying to work my way out of it. I don't know how he
got back into the race after that. I'm glad he got back up again to run
well as he did."
