She broke really sharp. I was able to settle behind the speed and when I asked her, she ran with all her heart today.” </p><p>Winning trainer Peter Eurton (Champagne Room) – “I wasn't feeling utterly confident (coming down the stretch). She was actually moving pretty well. She was getting a little tired, but there wasn't anyone catching her. I'm feeling pretty good right now. This means an awful lot to me.”</p><p>Second-place jockey Julien Leparoux (Valadorna) – “We had a pretty good trip, but there wasn't much pace. I had to wait a little bit on the turn and I think the winner got away from us. She ran a big, big race.”</p><p>Second-place trainer Mark Casse (Valadorna) – “She ran great. She had a good trip and was maybe just a little bit late getting out with the soft fractions, but I was proud of her. It was the way I expected her to run. She's a very good horse. She needed (the education she got in her last race) today.”</p><p>Third-place jockey Mike Smith (American Gal) – “We broke real bad and it cost me the race. That’s all it was.”</p><p>Third-place trainer Bob Baffert (American Gal) – “I thought she ran an incredible race considering how wide she had to go the whole way. She's shown she can go a distance and what a good horse she is.”</p><p>####</p>
