Trainer Larry Jones added, "(Edgar) Prado (aboard C P West) was coming up on the outside and we pretty well had to go. He wasn't going to let us set there and go. That probably hurt us as bad as anything. We'd have loved to put that move off for another 1/8 mile, but he did well. I'm pleased. We'd love to win it, especially being here at (jockey Mario Pino's) track, but good horses ran. The top three finishers in the Derby were 1-2-3 here. The next time, let's see, third went to first. Yeah, it's my turn the next time. We'd have loved to finish up with them, but it was a great horse race."
Asked about the Belmont he said, "We'll discuss it. His mother was a stakes winner at a mile and a half. There is no reason to think he can't do it because he sure won't have to run this fast early next time. We'll discuss it. As we said when we started, we had plans of running three races, all three of them. We'll see. This race sure doesn't make me think that we can't do it."
