The Prioress – Grade II
6 Furlongs Dirt Stake Purse $250.000 Filly 3 Year Olds.

1st Gobekli Tepe Threshold Bejarano R

Bejarano is riding like a robot at the moment and had this one in the perfect place all race for a cheeky win. Hugging the rail she held everything out without pushing up too far and when they hit the stretch she had enough left to push through and win by a half length. She still isnt qualified for a BC race so the question will be whether she goes back to turf or stays on dirt for her next race.

2nd First Impression Mb Stables Velazquez J R

Kept on really well for second but continues to find one too good at this level. Her time will come for sure and she is in the right stable to get back to winning ways.

3rd Piece Of Heart Fractious Sanchez M J

This was probably a career best effort leading at the furlong pole and just getting run out of it in the end. I would’ve thought this one will get another chance at this level but its hard to see her turning this form around.

4th Grayte Crack Estero Farms Gaffalione T

This one had zero luck as her jockey seemed intent on staring at the hind quarters of the leading group. She got as close as she could at the end but i think with a clear run she would’ve won so her trainer can count themsleves very unlucky.
