Winning trainer Richard Dutrow Jr said, "With a horse like that, you just try to stay out of his way. With all his talent all I have to do is let him run. He came out of the gate like we wanted him to. I loved being on the outside. It eliminated our chance of getting in trouble. Going into the race, the only way we cold get beat was if we got in trouble. In the first turn I knew it was over. I knew the horses in this race could not catch him. I don't see any 3-year-old that can beat him anywhere in the world and I've watched them all. I totally misjudged him before his last race. I didn't know he was that good."
