Winning jockey Javier Castellano aboard Pine Island said, "No matter what, I wanted to make one big run with her. She's a big filly with a long stride. Today, she was pretty sharp. She broke well and she wanted to be close. She responded very well. You've got to help her a little bit when she switches leads."
