Jockey Calvin Borel added, "She ran a hell of a race. I can't fault her. We figured (Bold Assurance) would get the lead and we'd sit right behind her. When we turned for home, (John Velazquez) opened up a good length and a half, but my horse kept digging in and came back to her, but I can't fault her. She ran a good race and she'll step up to the plate next time."

Trainer Carl Nafzger said, "I was very happy with the ride
and very happy with the race. You don't run away from good horses, you
either got to beat them or you can't beat them. We couldn't beat Octave
today. Our filly came coming back and she was coming back at the wire
again. Octave is a Grade 1 filly and we had to step up and see if we could run that."
