Tyler Gaffalione (winning rider of Averly Jane)

“It doesn’t really matter (whether she runs on dirt or turf). She’s just a quality filly. She’s got a tremendous amount of speed, and she just keeps going. She’s one of the fastest (out of the gate) I’ve ever been on. She almost throws you in the back seat. She’s a lot of fun.”

Irad Ortiz Jr. (rider of runner-up and stablemate Kaufymaker)

“I had a beautiful trip, I just got beat by a nice horse. She just came running and finished.”

Robby Albarado (rider of third-place finisher and 47-1 longshot Circle Back Jack)

“Nice colt – he moves well, he trains well and is an overachiever. This was a big move, a big step up for him today. I didn’t look at (my) odds, I just figured the filly (Averly Jane) would be hard to beat. She is dominant and special.”
