2009 Black-Eyed Susan Undercard Stakes at Pimlico

Jockey Garrett Gomez said, "They were making her work early. What I wanted to do was just squeeze her leaving there so she could make the lead fine, and she did. After I made the lead, they came over on her and put pressure on her all the way up the backside. She never got a breather until the middle of the turn. In the last 1/16 of a mile, she was looking for a place to slow down. She ran a very good race, especially for going that fast."

Trainer Steve Asmussen added, "I think she's got a tremendous amount of talent. (Assistant trainer) Toby Sheets has had her at Belmont and has done a great job with her, but the weather has not been cooperating with us lately. The idea off the Cicada, was to freshen her up, but it wasn't to miss a few works. I think she just won on talent today."
