Joel Rosario (jockey, Bobby’s Kitten, 1st) – “I was kind of worried with my position in the beginning. There was a lot of speed in the race, but I thought I could have been closer. I had to take a hold and was further back than I wanted to be. I thought I had no shot but he gave me a huge turn of foot.”

Chad Brown (trainer, Bobby’s Kitten, 1st) – “He ran a great race. I was a little worried early because he got shuffled far back, but Joel (Rosario) rode him perfect. He knows the hill so well and that’s one of the big reasons we put him on this horse. We had this race in mind and it was a good decision. He’s terrific. He fits the horse perfect. This makes up a little bit for the disappointment of this horse’s race in the Juvenile Turf last year.

“It’s an unbelievable weekend. I am so happy for my clients and my staff who work so hard. I’m down here in the winner’s circle getting the trophies and doing the interviews, but I have so many hard working people under me who don’t get the credit. I’m just so happy for all of them and so proud of them. I’m just speechless right now.

Dennis Ward (father of trainer Wesley Ward, No Nay Never, 2nd and Undrafted, 3rd) – “He’s (No Nay Never) run a fantastic race. I thought we’d got it. For a 3-year-old, he’s an absoluter monster. I thought Frankie had done it again.”

Frankie Dettori (jockey, No Nay Never, 2nd) – “He ran great. My horse thought he won, but the other horse came very wide and he didn’t see him. There was no way back.”

Julien Leparoux (jockey, Ageless, 4th) – “We had a great trip all the way. No problems. She just ran a great race but ran out of room.”

Corey Nakatani (jockey, Sweet Swap, 5th) – “He ran a great race coming off a layoff. What did we get beat, a length, two noses? He ran really good considering we got slammed out of the gate.
