Jockey Edgar Prado, winning his second race on the card, said, "It feels great to win two races. I am very excited about it. We thought we could do well tonight and they ran beautifully. I knew I had Idiot Proof within striking distance and I hadn't really asked my horse yet. I was really proud of him, he ran really well. Today he had to prove he could run against the best horses in the world and he did it. When I asked him for a little but more, he gave me 100%".

Winning trainer Richard Dutrow Jr., who watched the race on TV from Gulfstream Park, said, "I wasn't sure he was going to get there with the way that horse was drifting in. I hadn't really thought about how tough it would be for him to close (on the straight course). He's always been a horse who drops back. When I sat down with Edgar to talk about strategy, I didn’t know what to tell him. He said 'Don't worry. I know what to do.' He did a great job."
