Leondro Mora, assistant to winning trainer Doug O'Neill, added, "I am pretty thrilled it has finally happened and we expected him to run well. He likes the warm and over here it is like the Californian summertime which suited him well. He can go 1 1/4 as well as a mile and he's such a cool horse. We will give him a couple of months to build himself up and the boss will decide, but the Hollywood Gold Cup would be the sort of race he could run in next."
Owner J. Paul Reddam added, "That is a good start to what could be a good evening and hopefully year. He is an improving type and will hopefully continue to progress."
