Three Year Olds Fillies

1st Easier Said, trained by Mb Stables

Well an upset occurred in this race and this was the one who made the upset right here. She ran a big race for sure and won pretty impressively over the soft turf. She sat midpack early on and made a big charge down the lane to win by three quarters of a length. She ran the distance in 1:37.78 and earned $120.000 for the win.

2nd Diluted, trained by Aer Stables

Runner up right here and this filly also ran a big race and it seems that the soft turf did not affect her that much. She sat midpack early on and made up over four lengths down the lane to get up for second. She was only beaten three quarters of a length and she ran a very good race for second.

3rd Xtra Hot, trained by Gdp Inc

The third place runner right here closed from dead last early on to get up for third and she only beaten by a length. She was far back early on and made a very good run to get up for third. The soft turf did not affect her too much it seems and she was just a little too far back to win.

4th Lit Up By The French, trained by Maxmillion Farm

And right here is the filly that rounded out the superfecta with a pretty nice closing kick also. She dropped back to last at one point and she was ten lengths off the leader when she did. She made up six lengths down the lane and if she hadn’t have fallen back for a little bit she might have won.

Summary

Well obviously Na Pali looked like the tough gun in this field but she hated this soft turf course and ran dead last. But the winner Easier Said absolutely loved the going and ran a huge race to get up for the win. She ran her best race today date and should improve off of this win. Congratulations to Easier Said and Mb Stables.
