Winning trainer Dale Capuano added, "(Smart Enough) beat us twice. Both times, we felt we were unlucky. Smart Enough is a fantastic horse and we knew it would take a lot to beat him. We broke well. Javier had him right there and running easy. I was a little surprised he was that close. When I saw the first 1/4 in 22.23, I wasn't as concerned. That's not all that fast for these horses. He responded well and we got lucky."
