Winning jockey John Velazquez said, "He just broke running. He relaxed himself; I didn't have to do much. We got to the 1/4 pole, I showed him the whip, spanked him, and he came home real nice."
Trainer Todd Pletcher added, "We were looking to find out about the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf. We had to run him back a little sooner than we wanted to, just to see where
we were. We thought he was a little better colt than what he showed in
the Futurity, and he's got so much turf in his pedigree. The fractions were very realistic for him. The impressive part was the way he finished. He finished the last quarter in 22 seconds,
that's what we were looking for."
