04/06 Vinery Madison – Grade I (P4)
7 Furlongs Dirt Stake Purse $300.000 Filly & Mare 4 Year Olds And Up.
1st Are We Dreamin Mb Stables Pennington F
Mb will be very happy that this filly got her grade one win before the three year olds dominate the stakes racing but she had to work very hard to get it after a perfect trip. She really dug deep in the final furlong and won by a neck in the end. Things will get tough for the older fillies now as the three year olds enter the grade one racing but this one will make them work i have no doubt.
2nd Shake It Off Our Athletes Geroux F
This old mare gave her best today with the slight advantage she had in racing last years three year olds on level weights. She kept going really well and very nearly pulled it off proving that she can still mix it up with the best of them.
3rd Moonlight Bliss Fractious Ortiz J L
Went to the lead and was really game to hold on for third considering leaders are so often beaten in top races. She is an ultra consistent type who proved she can act on any surface.
4th Enoughs Enough Mb Stables Beschizza A
Stayed on well enough for fourth but her finish is a little blunted over these shorter trips. Back over a mile plus and she should be winning again.
