Jose Ortiz (winning rider of winner Time to Dazzle)

“Obviously the speed on paper looked like it was heavy. When I saw (favored) Luna Louska was not in front, I knew they were going pretty fast, so I rode her (Time to Dazzle) with patience. Around the turn, I had to tap on the brakes a little bit and followed the 1 (Pondering). I knew the 1 was going to take me to the eighth pole, and I did that. Then I found a hole on the inside, and she exploded.”

Tracy Farmer (winning owner, who purchased Time to Dazzle for $310,000 at Keeneland’s 2022 September Yearling Sale)

“We’ve been hoping for this run and she showed it today. What a day. Beautiful day, beautiful filly and all the fans — what could be better? It’s super (to get a graded stakes win) at Keeneland. They’ve done a wonderful job here.”

Luis Saez (rider of runner-up In Our Time)

“Pretty good trip, just too much pressure. I saw the winner come up the inside, but at that point we were already beat. Nothing we could’ve done. 

About her being antsy and bucking in the Paddock 

“She’s normally like that. She’s a filly that always feels good. She broke really well in the race, but we just had pressure on us the whole way. But she tried.”

Tyler Gaffalione (rider of third-place finisher Pondering)

“She put herself where she likes to be. I got a nice position tracking the speed. Got a really nice trip up the inside. Coming around the turn into the stretch, she laid it down for me. I think the ground got away from her today, just took a little bit away from her finish, but it was a great effort overall.”
