Winning jockey Gabriel Saez said, "I was just doing my best job, you know, tried to put her in a good position. She broke sharp, and I put her in the race, staying second, third, a good position. The other filly on the lead (Bsharpsonata), I tried to stay behind her. Just doing my job to put her in a perfect spot to win the race. The leader faded a little and we moved in front. Nobody could run us down from behind. She has a real big heart. She loves to run. When she wants to run, she responds real good."
