Flavien Prat (winning rider of Tony Ann)

“It felt like the pace was strong enough, and I was traveling really well behind (eventual runner-up) Caravel, so I was pleased with my trip. When I tipped her out, (Tony Ann) responded really well. I was a bit worried by the sixteenth pole because Caravel came back on us, but she was really game. To go by Caravel you’ve got to go all out, but she was really game today.”

Tyler Gaffalione (rider of runner-up Caravel)

“The filly tried hard, but we just weren’t able to get her head in front today. The fractions were solid, very fast, but I was content with where I was. I think my filly really struggled with the ground a bit today.”

Brad Cox (trainer of Caravel)

“Good run, just came up a touch short. I am proud of the effort. She likes it here at Keeneland and ran another great race. Breeders’ Cup is definitely still something we are pointing towards. We’ll see how she comes out of this race and go from there.”

Caravel is scheduled to return to Cox's Churchill Downs base on Monday with plans to ship to Santa Anita on Oct. 30. 

Gerardo Corrales (rider of third-place finisher Train to Artemus)

“She had a good trip. My horse was a little slow out of the gate, but she put in a strong finish.”
