NORBERTO ARROYO, JR. (Amalfi Sunrise, winner) – “Oh, I had a ton of horse. She’s a very nice filly. Maybe the best filly I’ve ever been on to this point, and I’ve been on some nice fillies. She’s something special.”

JOE TALAMO (Powerfulattraction, second) – “She broke good, settled and closed nicely. She’ll like seven-eighths. In fact, she’ll like it even farther. That’ll be even better for her.”

DRAYDEN VAN DYKE (Shedaresthedevil, third) – “She gave it a good try. The winner is more than a little bit good. But my filly is a nice one and she’ll get better with distance.”

SIMON CALLAGHAN (Amalfi Sunrise, winner) – “It really was impressive the way she drew away at the end. She’s a naturally fast filly and that’s the way she likes to run, up near the pace. She took a lot of heat and still was able to pull away which was very professional.”
