Pucker Up Stakes – Grade III
1 1/8 Mile Turf Stake Purse $200.000 Filly 3 Year Olds.

1st Directors Chair Nakamura Stables Luzzi L J

Luck was taken out of the question and the best horse was ridden like the best horse and won like the best horse should. That is pretty much all that can be said by this facile win, far superior, easy prize.

2nd Sunset Over Tahiti Angelos Stable Lopez P

Did everything right but at the end of the day she was just in a race with a filly that was far superior. Stalking the whole way she had the other held but just could not get near the winner. A much better effort after the instruction or race engine brain fart last time there are good races in her future.

3rd Red Flags Maxmillion Farm Cedillo A

Not a bad effort for third but not even the Turf King had a chance of beating the winner today, third good stakes placing in a row though so a decent race should be coming her way eventually.

4th Ginger Lucy The Sidley Stud Jaramillo E

Ran just about as well as she could but was no match for the winner at any point.
