David Donk, winning trainer of Vision Perfect (No. 4): "It was a very gutsy, game performance off the layoff. He didn't have to win, but we're pretty pleased that he did. He's matured and filled out a bit [since his 2-year-old season], which is nice to see. It's been a little bit of a tough spring because of the weather, but he's trained well. The horses that came up from Florida probably had a little bit of an edge, but kudos to [Vision Perfect]."

Manuel Franco, winning jockey aboard of Vision Perfect (No. 4): "I just followed the instructions David [Donk] told me, 'Not too much speed in here, the two horse [Chief Kitten] is going to go. Just sit behind and make your move when you think you're ready to go.'"
