Looks like the public was as confused as the handicappers here… when the dust settled, Gdp Inc’s Fair On Friday took the win in the Doubledogdare Stakes in a final time of 1:41.56 for the mile and a sixteenth stakes.  The KEE track was fast, yet the long shots dominated in this one, the winner going off at 6/1, then Forever Phooey Party nabbed the runner up spot at 17/1 odds, two lengths better than Cp Skeleton Moons, an 18/1 outsider.  It was another three-quarters of a length back to a DH between Nailed Sir and Respected Wishes in fourth.
