1st Musical Treat, trained by Mb Stables

The best finish for sure of the three Mb Stables and I thought this was the best chance he had to win the race. This filly sat right off the pace in second and then made the lead to end up holding off in the end. She ran very good to win by a neck. She ran the race in 1:45.61 and earned $150.000.

2nd Moon Car, trained by Crocker Ggs

Well this filly tried to win by taking the lead and take them all the way on the front end and nearly did it. She was on the lead until Musical Treat got by her but she fought on and didn’t let go of second. She actually came back a little bit late and cut the margin down to a neck. She ran very well.

3rd Ghost Runner, trained by Sizing Europe Lodge

Well Sizing Europe Lodge changed up the tactics that he usually rolls with on his big mare and it worked a lot better than it has before and it almost paid off. She came from about midpack and closed for nice third to only get beat by a three quarters of a length. She ran very good once again.

4th Tornado Warning, trained by Mb Stables

The second of the Mb Stables runners to hit the board in here was this filly and he she didn’t rnn bad at all either as she only got beat a length in the end after being third all the way except for at the finish. She ran a very good race and she showed she can obviously compete with some of the best turf female runners.

Summary

Well obviously the pace runners ran very good because the top two sat first and second the whole way and the fourth place finisher sat third the whole way around there. The third place runner did come from midpack but pace made the race in this one. Congratulations to Musical Treat and Mb Stables.
