Bill Mott, winning trainer of Harmonize (No. 1): "She went into the first turn on the lead but there was a horse that was a little rank down the backside and she was willing to let that horse go on. It worked out good; we tipped to the outside of her and had a target turning for home. She was very green her first time out. She just got lost on the lead last time and she's ready now."

Junior Alvarado, winning jockey aboard Harmonize (No. 1): "I got out of there running; she broke very good. I saw [Ava's Kitten] going a little faster than what I wanted, so I just sat right off her. When I asked her at the five-sixteenths [pole], she was there and finished very good. I knew first time out she was a very nice filly and she showed it today."
