Winning trainer Frank Kirby said, "What a great race he ran. Great race the jockey rode. He fits this horse like a glove. Most people pull on him and this kid throws the reigns away, kind of. I would like to thank the Schwartzs for letting me train this good horse. These owners have great patience for all their horses, he had a little thing on the back of his ankle. We were going to bring him back earlier, but we ran out of time, we just decided to give him more time. It was the right thing when we brought him back, he really got good. Of course our plans are to run him again next year, this will possibly be his last race this year. We are planning a big campaign for him, if everything is good."
