Winning jockey Todd Kabel said, "This is an emotional day, winning this race for (the late) Mr. Stavro and his family. It's like a family thing with me, one year I won the Plate for the late Mr. Samuel, then I won after my father died, and now Mr. Stavro. Our horse stepped up today, well done job by the team. I knew I had it won by the quarter pole, I hadn't asked my horse to run yet, but when we straightened up and I called on him he gave me one big kick and I knew there was no way he was going to get beat today. When they give you a kick like that you better have some kind of horse running awful hard to catch up."
