Jockey Jose Espinoza said, "We were in good position throughout the race. It took him a little time to pick it up. Once he got going in the clear, he finished up strong."

Trainer Bobby Barbara said, "I'm happy with his race. We gave him a freshening and he's come back good. English Channel is a good horse. I think we'll look at a race like the Knickerbocker (at Aqueduct on October 27)."
