Three Year Olds and Up
1st Immoral, trained by Mb Stables
The “other” Mb Stables runner here and he ran another big race and got his second grade one of the year. It did end up in a dead heat but this horse should be on to the Breeders Cup Turf after this win.
1st Billy Joel, trained by La Canada Racehorses
Dead heat win here for this horse and he proved that his previous turf win was no fluke. Very big win for him and he will surely be headed towards the Breeders Cup Turf in his next start.
3rd Thanks For Nothing, trained by D J C Racing Stables
Finally getting back to his old form and running a good race once again with a very nice closing third. He closed well and was only beaten a length for it all.
4th Fuji, trained by Smokey Stover
Pretty good run from this horse here also as he closed from far back in the field to end up running fourth. He was only beaten a length by the winner and ran a good race for fourth.
Summary
Dead heat for the winners here but they both ran very big races. They ended covering the distance in 2:24.68 and they both earned $150.000 for their share. Congratulations to Mb Stables and La Canada Racehorses.
