For Fillies And Mares Three Years Old And Upward Foaled In NY
Belmont Park, Elmont, NY

–Real Tactics from Mb Stables came out with the leaders, then took over and never looked back in a monster run here, especially considering the opposition. Big win for this three year old filly spanking much more seasoned foes today. Congrats to the winning connections. Fabulous from GDP Inc was our top pick and the betting favorite, she ran real game to re-rally and get second place today. This was her third straight second place stakes race. Go For Glory, also from Mb Stables dropped back to last out of the gate and then came on with a rush to grab third in a solid performance. Be Royal, also from Mb Stables is also only three years old and she surged late to grab the last spot in the superfecta.

Of The Rest:

Mightiness from Winning Link Stables came out, settled in fifth position and stayed in that spot all the way around the track in a somewhat dismal performance. It will be interesting to see where she shows up next.

Gala Brand from DJC Racing Stables made good use of her rail draw, came out and tracked the leader nicely, but then had no late response entering the stretch drive.

El Grand Latte from Black N Gold Stable tried to change tactics today by sending along her. Unfortunately, as usually happens with natural closers she tired from chasing too close up and dropped back to last with no late energy.
