Jockey Eibar Coa added, "She was a little closer than I wanted her to be, and I had to take a kind of big hold on her. She didn't like it. That's why she was throwing her head up. But I think, back there, she relaxed and I was in a good position all the way to the 1/4 pole. Then, I had nowhere to go. I needed to wait for a little bit of room. When I finally got it, she helped me out, splitting horses nice. She ran like much the best."

Winning trainer Barclay Tagg said, "You don't like to lose races (after an inquiry), especially after you win them. I wasn't too worried about her getting through. She's pretty gutsy. She has run on soft turf, but not against this type of competition. She has a lot of ability and courage, and she showed that today. We'll skip the Lake Placid. She has run back-to-back gutsy races; we want to give her a break and look at the Garden City (at Belmont) and Queen Elizabeth II (at Keeneland)."
