Four Year Olds and Up

1st People Doubted, trained by Aml Racing

One of the easiest wins you will see by this horse right here. He was in front from flag fall to that’s all and just won with such ease. He opened up by about five lengths at one point and then just kept on rolling to the end of the race when he was two lengths in front. He ran the race in 1:59.90 over a good turf course and he earned $120.000.

2nd Midwestern Slang, trained by Gdp Inc

This horse also ran a very big race for sure and closed very quickly for a second place finish. He was pretty far back and even in last at one point but that didn’t matter to him as he ended up closing for a very good second place finish to only be the runner up by two lengths. He ran a very good race.

3rd Chai Mission, trained by Maxmillion Farm

The only filly in the field and she also ran a very good for sure. She was very far back early on and came with a nice closing kick for sure and made up quite a bit of ground. She seemed to like the good turf course good enough. She only got beat by three lengths and did not run a bad race at all.

4th Decibel, trained by Threshold

Well this horse did not run a bad race at all right here for the conditions because I don’t think that it is his absolute favorite surface to run on. He didn’t run too bad at all even for staying even pretty much the whole way and he didn’t get beat by that much either.

Summary

Well I think that this was pretty obviously a dominant performance by the winner People Doubted who won by an easy two lengths in the somewhat wet conditions. It was only a good turf course so it could have been worse. He dominated this field for sure and won easily. Congratulations to People Doubted and Aml Racing.
