Jockey Eurico Rosa da Silva added, "He was very relaxed where he was and when I asked him he gave me a big kick, just like he did in his first race."

Winning trainer Mark Frostad said, "He's very good mind-wise and he's been training very well. We got a couple of good works into him. He was happy to see the wire today, but he'll get a lot out of this race today. We bought this guy from the Fasig-Tipton Sale in July and he's turned into a very nice horse. We really like him." Asked about going to the Breeders' Cup, he added, "Absolutely. If he comes out of the race in good shape, sure."
