Nightime overtook the favourite a furlong and a half from the finish and drew clear of her opponents to win by six lengths from the 50/1 outsider Ardbrae Lady. After the race Dermot Weld said "It is a very special day for me... My mother has always believed in the filly. I wanted to sell her as a yearling but she wouldn't let me, as she thought she was special, and she has been proven right. She is in her 90th year this year and this is lovely for her." Describing his winning ride, Pat Smullen commented "Confidential Lady going off in front was great because she brought me there perfectly. I knew she would stay a mile and a quarter, so I kicked on. If anything, I'm disappointed I won so far. But you can't afford to mess around with losing momentum in that ground".
