Interview with the Winning Jockey
Pierre-Louis Jamin, the jockey who rode Karmology to victory, expressed his delight with the unexpected win. He stated that the plan was to follow the favorite closely, but Karmology ultimately proved that she could win.
Interview with the Trainer
Karl Burke, the trainer of Karmology, shared his surprise at the outcome of the race. He revealed that he had only entered Karmology in the race to give her valuable experience, considering it was a local race. Burke expressed his satisfaction with the result.
