1st Angels Chance, trained by Midnight Racing
A huge run from this horse as he came from dead last to get up for the win in here. He was last with an eight of a mile left to go but it did help that there was a fast pace in here for sure. He ended up winning by a neck. He ran the distance in 56.27 and earned $180.000 for the win.
2nd Friends Of A Feather, trained by Royalty Racing
Another tough defeat for this runner as this was his fifth second place finish in his last seven starts. He was about midpack early on and he closed pretty well late in the stretch but he could not hold off the winner. He ran pretty well to run second.
3rd Cold Weather Rider, trained by Night Rider Stables
A good run from this horse also as he set lightning fractions and almost pulled off the gate to wire win in here. He broke sharp and went to the lead out of the outside post and set some pretty fast fractions. He ran very well to only get beat a neck.
4th Credible, trained by Mb Stables
And the final runner on the board here ran an okay race. He was in the same spot from start to finish. He broke alright and went to right near last but when it came to the finishing down the stretch he didn’t have much of a punch left in the tank.
Summary
Well a big win here for Angels Change as he came with a last to first finish here in this turf sprint. He ran very good and he was helped out but a quick pace but he did have a big kick in that last furlongs. Congratulations to Angels Chance and Midnight Racing.
