Winning jockey Garrett Gomez said, "Two or three of them left there in good shape, so I went ahead and nudged her right before we went under the wire to stay a little closer. Just as we went a little way, I changed my mind. I said, `They're going at a pretty good clip. Let me just back off.' I got myself shuffled back a little bit. From then on, she is just a true professional. The main concern was if she would come back from Dubai. A lot of times, the Dubai trip takes a lot out of them, especially a mare. She bounced back in good shape."
