Trainer James Toner added, "He ran well. He tried hard and did everything right, but Edgar said he wasn't comfortable with the track. He tries hard, this horse. He gives you everything he's got."

Jockey Edgar Prado said, "He wasn't handling the track too well. He had a little trouble in the first part. He was trying, but in the second turn, two horses stopped in front of me, so I had to go around them. I think he could have been a lot closer, but we lost ground and momentum."
