Trainer Chad Brown added, "She didn't get the respect she deserved because I ran her for a tag the first time. But it really doesn't matter; the numbers said she was good enough. The two guys I worked for (Shug McGaughey and Bobby Frankel) told me she belonged, and I think she belonged, and she did. I didn't know about the Europeans. But after working for the guys I worked for, I was around so many good horses that I knew what they looked like."

Winning jockey Jose Lezcano said, "She broke good. I put her right inside. I had to wait a little bit, when I got out, I said, 'I got a good chance in the race.' She came running, she kicked. When I asked her, I saw (Heart Shaped), and I said, 'I got it.' It was my first ride in the Breeders' Cup. I'm only four years in this country. It's good for me to win a Breeders' Cup. It's unbelievable."
