Left: Sistercharlie heads out for the post parade. Winning jockey John Velazquez said, "I wasn't worried at all [about Thais]. I was a little worried about the fillies from Europe. The horse to beat [Fleeting] I thought was behind me, and I was a little more patient. At the 3/8 pole, normally I start passing there. I made sure she went on, and she did it right away, but I had all the confidence in the world in [Sistercharlie]. She always takes care of business."

Turning for home Pamina, 6th early, took over through 1 mile in 1:38.26 but 6-1 fourth choice Cafe Americano, 11th early under Irad Ortiz Jr. rallied 7 wide to win by 1 1/4 lengths in 1:50.01.

They all work so hard with these horses and its days like today that all that work pays off. There's a lot of hard work that goes into this, and I'm surrounded by a lot of really talented people. Of course, it's all up to the horses though and I'm so proud of them. They give me their all every single day and that's why I do this job."
