Eddie Barker, winning trainer of Meese Rocks (No. 6): “I didn't surprise me that she won; it was how she won. It was very impressive against that field. I thought she was going to run a really, really good race, but I didn't think she would be as dominant as she was. This field was probably the toughest she has ever faced. She has run well over a sloppy track before and [Jorge Chavez] knows the horse really well.”
Jorge Chavez, winning jockey aboard Meese Rocks (No. 6): “I knew that [La Concerto] and [Gold for the Queen] were going to go out like that, so I just waited for the stretch and then let her go. She loves the mud. I’ve ridden her before in the mud and she won, so I know she likes that kind of track.”
