Winning trainer Peter Miller (on the far right in the photo) said, "He runs well fresh. We wanted to spot him appropriately and this race looked like a good spot." Jockey Patrick Valenzuela added that the speedy gelding can be ridden from any part of the pack. "He's a very versatile horse. He can go to the front, he can come from off the pace. Peter had him plenty ready and I was just lucky to be the pilot."
