Peter Brant (owner of winner In Italian-GB)

“She’s a wonderful mare. She’s been good from the very beginning, and we’re very proud to have her. She’s going to be a great broodmare for us. We’re so excited; to win this race this number of times (three) has been a great thrill for us. This is one of the most important filly-and-mare races, and it’s just a great honor to win this race.”

On why he has continued such a longtime investment in the sport

“It’s not losing, that’s for sure. Unfortunately, you’re going to lose more than you’re going to win, so you have to get used to it. It will humble you. But it’s well worth it when you experience the thrill of winning. It’s a great, great sport. No opinions in the sport – it’s just first one to the finish line in a fair way. I love the sport. I’ve loved it ever since I was 13 years old. I plan on continuing to do it.”

Irad Ortiz Jr. (winning jockey)

“She’s been a nice filly all the time. She broke quick out of the gate and then she relaxed. Her ears were up. She does that all the time. I was confident. The trainer (Chad Brown) told me just to go to the lead. She broke so good, I tried to relax her going into the first turn, and she switched off. That was key. After that, on the backside if somebody gets close to her, I can let her do her thing, because I know I have plenty in the tank. She was nice. She deserves all the credit. She got the job done.”

William Buick (rider of runner-up With The Moonlight-IRE)

“Great trip. The winner was just too good, but she ran a really good race. The winner set nice fractions. We weren’t going slow. The winner isn’t a horse you want to give too much rope, and you can see the track’s running pretty fast.”

Frankie Dettori (rider of third-place finisher White Frost)

“Great trip – we were behind the winner. I found a shot turning for home, but the winner was too good. Simple as that; she tried hard for me, no complaints.”  

John Velazquez (rider of fourth-place finisher Skims-GB)

“Good trip good trip, not good enough.”
