Trainer David Donk added, "It was a soft course. I wasn't sure if he'd handle it or not. Horses with that style usually don't do that well when the turf is soft, but I was impressed. That was wonderful."

Winning jockey Javier Castellano said, "I had a beautiful trip today, a dream trip. I took my time. The track is a little soft today. I had to follow the best horse in the race. I thought that was Shakis and Ramon Dominguez. I saved ground all the way around. Turning for home, I followed Ramon, but then I saw the hole and I went through because I had so much horse. He passed the others and went by them so easy. He really exploded. I liked the way he opened up on the field."
