Gerald Kresa, winning owner of King Kreesa (No. 3): "He did great. They gave him the lead. Once he can relax, he has all kinds of energy at the end and he can open up on them. He held everyone off with no problem. We're very pleased with him. We could look at the Forbidden Apple maybe and if he comes out of that one good, we might consider the Fourstardave after that."

Jose Ortiz, winning jockey aboard King Kressa (No.3): "I was surprised to get the lead early, the four horse [Heart to Heart] looked like a fast horse on paper, his last race he went a half in :44 but you know, different track, different strategy. I think things set up well for me. I saw that Irad [Ortiz, Jr.] rode him well previously and looking at it, I just tried to ride him like he rode him. I think a mile is his best distance, maybe he could stretch out a little bit, but a mile is perfect."
