Winning trainer Michael Matz said, "He was ready to run today. I'm no more concerned now (going into the Derby) than I was about the eight-week layoff (since the Holy Bull). I think he's a good horse. He's done everything we've asked of him. We'll keep him here about a week or so, and then probably go to Keeneland, probably work once there, and then go to Churchill. Edgar said he got to acting a little goofy with that other horse eyeballing him, but this was the first time he really had that experience."

Winning jockey Edgar Prado said, "I saw Sharp Humor break sharp, so I just followed him. (Barbaro) was pretty much in control of the race. So far this is my Derby horse. We'll see how he comes back over the next couple of days and make a decision from there."
