Winning jockey Olivier Peslier said, "Right now, she is the best filly in the world. First my filly, and now it's (up) to Zenyatta. I didn't want to ask too much of her (early). She was wide on the turn but after that she relaxed behind the pace. On the last turn, she was flying and she kept running. I don't know the words to describe what it feels like to ride a champion like that."

Trainer Freddie Head, who has won the Mile twice as a jockey and three times as a trainer, said, "It's quite unreal. She's amazing, she can do anything. It's too good to be true. I'm very emotional. I was the first jockey to win this race twice with a mare, and now I'm the trainer of a mare winning (this race) three times. It's unreal. We don't know how good this filly is. She's extraordinary. I don't have the words."
