Winning trainer Richard Dutrow Jr. (seen in the foreground) said, "We know he likes this track and things set up absolutely perfect for him. He did what he was supposed to. When I saw those two going with each other, I couldn't ask for anything better. Even though he was further back than usual, Edgar knew what he was doing and he knew he had plenty of time to catch up. The (King's Bishop at Saratoga) is next without a doubt. He loves it up there and it's a Grade 1 and we need to get the job done."

Jockey Edgar Prado added, "I expected to be a little closer, but he broke well and I just bided my time. I liked where I was sitting. It worked out perfectly."
