Owner Ahmed Zahat added, "We have always thought so highly of him, especially when he broke the track record at Saratoga last year. He is a phenomenal sprinter and showed it here. He's getting better and maturing each time. Steve (Asmussen, trainer) has done a phenomenal job and (original trainer) Bob Baffert did a great job giving this horse his foundation. If he continues to stay healthy, he'll be back at Saratoga for the King's Bishop."

Winning jockey Garrett Gomez said, "He is a speed-tactical horse. He doesn't need the lead. He was sharp and allowed me to do what I needed to do. He has grown so much between his last race and this one. He keeps getting stronger. I was happy with the way he ran today."
