 3   LRL   The Black-Eyed Susan Stakes (GII)

$300.00    3yoF   1^1/8m  Dirt       122lbs         

Friday’s Black-Eyed Susan Stakes (GII) was a two-part story with All Or Nothing living up to her name in a way as she set the pace into the lane, but the closers came-a-knockin’ as Facts Of Love from the Alydar Stables cruised by that one and held off a late charge from a couple of foes to take the win.  It is only her second win from seven starts, but clearly marks her as a 3yo filly with a big, big future.  The final running time was 1:48² for the mile and an eighth over the Fast LRL main track.  Congrats to the Connections!

Lady Lobo closed a late gap, only to miss out on the photo finish while securing the second spot.  Likewise, Boardwalk Freak also ran on late while taking the third spot.  As mentioned, All Or Nothing tired a bit in the lane while bringing home the minor share of the $300.00 purse.  Ten went to post with the scratch of Firewall and six lengths covered the field.
