But I trust this filly and she has been training awesome. We had high expectations, but you don't know until they prove themselves out there, especially with 2-year-olds. In her daily training you can see she wants to run. It's in her blood. That's what she wants to do. It definitely is a dream come true. There's no words to describe it."

Right: Governor Goteven in the paddock. Winning jockey Tiago Pereira said, "Lisa said get a good spot with her. She broke really well and we were in a good spot right from the start. I was taking pressure, but she was OK with it. Then she just started to pull away. She'd been training well for this. She's a nice filly."
