1st: #1 Curlina (Arindel/E. Jaramillo): To the front when the gates opened.  Dictated terms through sensible fractions on more than a two-length advantage.  Put to a drive exiting the turn and was determined all the way through the wire to prevail by a half-length.

2nd: #2 Minx (D J C Racing Stables/R.M. Hernandez): Off a couple beats slowly at the break.  Was four behind going down the backstretch.  Moved off the rail with a half-mile to go and commenced rally a furlong later.  Gaining late, 2nd best.

3rd: #4 Kalthoff Repeater (Spankys Barn/L.J. Luzzi): Inside position in tracking trio.  Was nearest the winner going down the backside.  Asked for run through the final bend and ran on to save the show.

Congratulations to Curlina (12-4-0-1 $406.800) and Arindel on their G3 RP Oaks victory!
