$350.00   4yo&Up F&M   1^1/2m Turf     123lbs

Closing day at KEE and the last stakes of the spring meet did not disappoint.  and we did knock down the nearly 6/1 winner in the process.  Mb Stables gets the victory as November Storm uses her patented late move to score by a half length, her second of the ’26 season, in Fridays Bewitch (GIII).  That’s back-to-back graded wins for the bay 6yo, and her tenth lifetime.  She now has $1,807.98 in lifetime earnings and certainly commands respect any time she’s in the gate going the marathon distance.  Congrats to the Connections! 

Big Jd Racing’s Broxbabesarebest was a clear second, taking the lead in the lane but unable to hold off the eventual winner.  It was two more lengths to Nakamura Stables’ Happy Dancer in third, then a head to Superface Party, stable mate of the winner, in fourth.  The final running time was 2:25² over the lush Lexington lawn, labeled as Firm.  Eight lengths covered the field of eight and there were no exclusions.
