Trainer Shug McGaughey said, "It didn't quite set up the way I thought, and when they took Life At Ten back the way they did, I thought we might be in a bit of trouble. If Rachel Alexandra had been here it might have been a little bit different, because they would have been able to turn her lose. I'm disappointed we didn't do better, but Alan felt like she tried hard and I'm not discouraged about going on with her. I think going two turns is much better for her, so we'll see how she comes out of it go on from there."
