The Azeri – GII
OP Race 1 1 1/16M – Dirt
Purse $350.000
Four Year Olds and Up Fillies and Mares

1st Ineffable, trained by TwinTowers Racing

Well this filly got the better of the runner up this time around as they run first and second once again. This time she got the better of her though as she had a perfect trip from about midpack. She was in a good spot and kicked on late to get up and win by a neck. She ran the race in 1:41.88 and earned $210.000 for the win.

2nd The Reaper, trained by John Henry

Welp this old mare ran another very big race as she tried a little different tactic this time around and tried to go gate to wire. She ran a good race for sure and just barely couldn’t hold off the winner but she still ran a very good second. She just runs her race every single time.

3rd Misty Firefox, trained by Crocker Ggs

This filly here ran another big race and switched up back to how she usually runs and she tried to close from way back. She was last early on and came with a nice run to only end up getting beat by a half of a length. She is a very consistent and she ran a big race once again.

4th Nice Tactical Speed, trained by Maxmillion Farm

Another good performance by this filly also as she ran a good race to get up for fourth after sitting towards the rear early. She sat next to last most of the way and then kicked on nicely to make up a couple of lengths. She was only beaten a length so she did not best far at all. She ran a good race.

Summary

Well for the second race in a row Ineffable and The Reaper duked it out all the way to the line. Last time The Reaper won by a head and this time Ineffable won by a neck. I’m sure both will be back for round three in the Apple Blossom next month. Congratulations to Ineffable and TwinTowers Racing.
