Winning trainer Bill Mott said, "I think it was the way Kent rode her today, the break and the way she settled. She made an explosive move around the turn leaving the 3/8 pole and just took the lead away from everybody. Kent pulled the trigger and it worked out. We opened up on the field and left them in the dust."

Jockey Kent Desormeaux added, "She took me all the way to the 3/16 pole all by herself. She was on the bridle all the way. I hadn't moved on her until then. I asked her and she went. I saw Blind Luck on TV (infield screen) coming at the 3/16 and then I saw her again at the 1/16 and she hadn't gained any ground on me. I was home then."
