Winning jockey Robby Albarado said, "It's a great privilege for me to be on him. What a horse. I just show up and ride him and get the glory but everybody works so hard but I am the one that's seen. He does it all on race day. It's easy when you ride a great horse like Curlin. He's not even tired. It went as well as expected. I was just a passenger, I just get all the glory. This is an unbelievable experience, at the very top of the list."
Majority owner Jess Jackson of Stonestreet Stables said, "It is great to come here and see such a star show his class like he did tonight. We knew we had real opposition here but our boy showed his class in dramatic fashion."
