Jockey John Velazquez said, "I didn't want to be on the lead. She got caught up in the duel. From the 1/2 mile pole to the 1/4 pole, she had to run hard just to stay where we were. I felt (Unbridled Belle) coming, but I thought my filly ran a huge race."

Trainer Todd Pletcher added, "Considering she was stuck inside there, Indian Vale never could really get clear of Ice Cool Kitty at any point. Indian Vale is a deserving Grade 1 winner. It's a tough loss for her. On the flip side, the other filly (stablemate and winner Unbridled Belle) also ran a big race."
