Winning jockey Edgar Prado said, "There was a lot of speed and it seemed like everybody went. I was behind it. I was hoping they would come back to me and they did. It worked out beautiful."
Trainer Gary Contessa added, "That's another walking advertisement for (glue-on) shoes, the same shoes Big Brown uses. He has terrible feet. The shoes have saved his career. The finish he has is amazing. When I saw the 23 second opening quarter, I didn't think he could close into that. That made this race all the more amazing."
