1st Shanghai Days, trained by Night Rider Stables

A second 100 SRF Rating in a row for this runner as he wins his second stakes race in a row in this race. He did dead heat for the win but he still gets credit for the win and this was his graded stakes win. He ran the distance in 1:08.83 and earned $100.000 for the win.

1st Bring The Pain, trained by Mb Stables

The other winner of this race right here and he also ran a very good race to get up for the win. It looked like he might be home free for a second but he was almost passed late but he still had enough to hold on for the dead heat. He also gets $100.000 for the win.

3rd Harleys Hope, trained by TwinTowers Racing

Also a dead heat for third in here with this horse running a good closing third. He was far back early on and came with a pretty decent run down the stretch to pass some and get up for third. He couldn’t get third for himself but he also was not fourth so not a bad check for this runner.

3rd Crown Me Mucho, trained by Nolespan Racing

And the other runner that got third right here and he came from way back to get up for this spot. He was next to last early and then fell all the way to last with an eighth of a mile to go. He made up three lengths in the final furlong of the race. He ran a very good race for the trip he got.

Summary

Well this was such a competitive race that you could not separate the top two finishers or the next two finishers. A dead heat for the win and a dead beat for third in this race. Congratulations to Shanghai Days and Night Rider Stables and Bring The Pain and Mb Stables.
