Richard Dutrow on Boys at Tosconova’s winning effort in the 11 November, 2011, allowance claimer said "I was very pleased with his race today. If he's what he was last year he is supposed to show up today against these and he did. It didn't look like a real
grueling race for him. Maybe he was fighting the track a little bit. I think he likes to run much faster times. This was kind of a slowish time for him, but that's OK, we got the job done. He got back in the winner's circle and now we get to point him for
his next race. As long as he comes out the way he went in, we will be OK.
