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.

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."
