Trainer D. Wayne Lukas of last place finisher Flying First Class said, "Our horse ran a pretty fair race, nothing to complain about. You just never know how a race will be run or how it will be won. That's why we continue to play and enjoy this game. This was an exciting race to watch. While I could have enjoyed it more, congrats to the winner." Jockey Mark Guidry added, "The pace went a little quicker than I wanted. We were going OK, until the '2' came inside of us, and when he hooked us, that was pretty much it."

Xchanger and Flying First Class led the field the first time past the stands. Jockey Ramon Dominguez aboard Xchanger said, "He broke inward and when I corrected him, he took off with me. He was going a little quicker than we wanted and I tried my best to squeeze him. But at the 3/8 pole he was pretty much empty." Xchanger ultimately finished 8th. Trainer Mark Shuman added, "He was just high strung today.
Cutting out those kinds of fractions realistically you can't go a mile and three-sixteenths. We'll fight another day."
