Dont Freak Out broke well out of post position four to be second by a length.  She held that position over the muddy going until the final couple of furlongs.  She rallied about two lengths off the pace, to gobble up the leader to go on to win by a length.  She covered the distance in 1:45.81 for owner Eastern Equine bringing home a check for $60.000 at odds of 21.85-1.

Christine at odds of 66.75-1 surprised the public as she was your early pacesetter.  She opened the quarter in a easy :24 1/5 over the mud.  Came back to the half in :24 1/5 making it a :48 2/5 half.  She kept ripping off the quarters, and got tired coming down the stretch to go on to finish second for owner Wolfs Den, and earns $20.000 for the run.

Behrens Bride your even money favorite did not show well in the mud for the second consecutive time.  Has finished in the money in every start on the off going, just only has 2 wins in 6 starts on a wet track.  Got out to be third, and really never rallied from there to finish third for owner Big Jd Racing, and picks up a check for $16.000

Ancient Royalty broke away last, and would be found there for the majority of the race.  She made a late bid for the lead, that would ultimately put her in fourth place for owner Paradise Stable.  She earns $4.000 for today’s run.

Quiet Elegance broke decent away to be fourth about four to five lengths from the leader.  When Robby asked for more in the stretch she didn’t respond to go on to finish fifth.  This was her first time on a wet going, and might be a sign that she doesn’t like that type of surface.  Better luck next time for the connections and Mb Stables.

Barbies Corvette broke out of the gate to be fifth in the early going about five lengths from the front.  She never rallied to be a threat in today’s race.  She goes on to finish sixth for owner Night Mare Racing.

Until next time this is Iwin signing off!
