HECTOR I. BERRIOS (Thought Process, winner) - 

“I knew I wanted to go and close. She is a very fast filly so I try and go and switch positions. I take the last pull and she responds. She has grown; she is much more focused in the race and her stride is better in this race.”

PHILIP D’AMATO (Thought Process, winner) – 

“She does things real easy. Has a great mind on her and that helps. And Hector (Berrios) has given her some very nice rides. We got a nice ground-saving trip and Hector was able to angle out and run down the horse on the lead and not look back. She’s definitely going in the right direction and hopefully toward the Breeders’ Cup.”
