Mystery stayed close to the pace throughout the 6 ½ Furlongs and whittled away at the lead before hitting the wire a head in front of Training Wheels. It was the first win of the year for the six-year-old gelding.

Complete Order of Finish:

1 Mystery (Fractious) Stalked the pace and moved to the lead in the stretch to win by a head.

2 Training Wheels (Gdp Inc) Made a big move from off the pace to get up for second.

3 Panther Pie (Black N Gold Stable) Close to the pace throughout, outrun in the stretch.

4 Ancient Aliens (Fractious) Came from well off the pace to get up for fourth.

5 Pray For Sunshine (Spankys Barn) Led at every call but the last, held on for fifth.

6 Southern Fame (Mojica Racing) Dead last early, rallied late to take sixth.

7 Lamarck (Avenue Z) Stalked the early pace, faded to seventh but only by a length.

8 Insist On Perfection (Maxmillion Farm) Never a factor.

9 Last City (Lemax Farms) Made a move midway, then faded to ninth.

10 Stealth Combat (Fractious) Never a factor.

11 Prairie Lights (Allinthegate) Never a factor.

Mystery is by Real Fishy out of Seven Regiments (Seven Sevens) and was bred in NY. This win is his eleventh in thirty-seven career starts. The victory brings his career earnings to 921.090. Congratulations to Mystery and Fractious!
