Winning trainer James Chapman said, "She’s been running like this all along. We haven’t even asked her to open up yet. If we want her to win around two turns, she needs to be doing things the way she’s doing them now. Our goal with her is to make the Kentucky Oaks. We’ll sit down and see the schedule and see where we go from here. I wasn’t worried about her on this track, because she’s bigger and stronger than most 3-year-old fillies right now."

The other Oaks prep on the card was the $150,000 Old Hat Stakes (G3). Misty Rosette, the 5-1 fourth choice on the tote, took the lead at the end of the backstretch trip, then drew off through the lane to an easy 4 length win in a time of 1:16.03 for 6 1/2 furlongs over the sloppy track. 9-5 favorite Yachats was fourth.
