"Look, it's an outstanding win," Gately said on Nine.
"I mean, to do what she did in the lead-up ... Where's her ceiling? Today, she steps to 2500m.
"It looked anyone's race at the 200m but by the time they got to that mark, she was dominant there."
Hill described the victory as a "famous win".
"It was unbelievable. What a filly!" Allen told Nine's Billy Slater.
"What a training performance by Tommy [Carberry]. He writes all his own work. You'll be talking about this for years ... [It was an] unbelievable training performance."
