Left: Belle Gallantey in the winner's circle. Winning trainer Rudy Rodriguez said, "We're working very hard with these kinds of horses and thank God they did it. I don't know what to tell you. I'm speechless. I told Jose, 'You've got the outside and you've got the option to see what everyone else is doing, so take it from there. If they leave you alone, take it.' I think she's a pretty versatile filly where she can sit and come from behind. When they left them alone and they went in 24.18, I was very happy. She's a very nice filly and she showed it today. She really took off in the stretch."
Right: Belle Gallantey in the post parade. Jockey Jose Ortiz said, "She's improved a lot since Rudy has had her. He has to get all the credit, and I'm glad I've had the opportunity to ride her. I just put my hands down and was a passenger. As soon as I went to the lead she relaxed really well. Rudy told me she was 100%, and I always trust him. When we went to the 1/4 pole I had a lot of horse, so I knew I had it."
Left: Second place finisher and beaten favorite Stopchargingmaria returns after the race. Trainer Todd Pletcher said, "The winner is tough when she gets things her way on the front end. We tried to stay as close as we could without totally taking our filly out of her game, but we just kind of kept chasing the whole way."
Right: Third place finisher Endless Chatter returns after the race. The 9-1 shot stalked the pace in third under Irad Ortiz Jr. but could not improve, finishing third beaten 10 1/2 lengths. The Chad Brown trainee improved her record to 4 wins, 3 seconds, and 2 thirds in 10 starts, earning $219,320 for owner Alpha Delta Stables.
