Winning jockey Eddie Castro said, "It kind of played out like it looked on paper. No one challenged me on the lead and I kind of expected them to. She was going really easy and turning for home, I let her out a little bit. She won really easy. I had a ton of horse at the end."

Winning trainer Bill Mott added, "Time-wise, the fractions looked comfortable, but in the restricted stake today, the winner came from far back with very slow fractions. We weren't in the winners' circle yet, but I liked the way she was doing it. Going into the turn, he let her out a notch and Wait a While just didn't really keep stride. I think she's kind of gotten better each year and that's why she's still in training. She was very sound and I thought she would improve. She appeared to me to be one of those that hadn't had her best year yet. I give Mrs. (owner Charlotte) Weber a lot credit for keeping her in training because she will be a very valuable broodmare." She will start next in the Diana Handicap at Saratoga.
