Jockey Eibar Coa said, "(Lear's Princess)
poked me. It might have been a little to close to the wire, and maybe
that's the reason it didn't take effect. But I was happy with the effort
my horse gave me. She was trying hard in the stretch and the winner
never gave up. You have to give her credit, too."
