Winning jockey Robby Albarado said, "He broke a little bit behind the field, but he got back into the race. He has overcome a lot of obstacles in his career, and he showed it today. He has always run good at one turn. He has been well-matched this year, and this was a breath of fresh air for him."

Winning trainer Jamie Sanders added, "I was so excited when I saw him come up the inside during the stretch run. It was unbelievable! We knew what kind of a horse he was going into the race. He has so much class, and he keeps doing it over and over. We were confident. Robby knows him well and he has so much patience with him. He doesn't have to keep sprinting. He can run longer and he has proven that. So, we do have our options."

Sanders said that Teuflesberg may go next in the Travers or the King's Bishop at Saratoga.
