Winning jockey Olivier Peslier said, "After a nice trip, just before the last corner, I was waiting for a chance. When that hole opened she jumped up and just kept going. She's very good. I've won a lot of big races with her."

Trainer Freddy Head added, "She's a wonderful filly. She's in the same class as Miesque. She was a little backward before, but now she's in the same league as Miesque." Miesque won the Mile in 1987 and 1988 with Freddy Head aboard as her jockey.
