Winning trainer Christophe Clement said, "When the ground is soft, either they like it or they don't. He won the Manhattan on very firm ground, which slightly puzzled me because I've always thought he was better with a cut in the ground. We're very lucky to have won a Grade 1 on both types of turf. I think after this race, as long as he trains well, we'll have to think about the Breeders' Cup (Turf)."
