Three Year Olds and Up Fillies and Mares

1st Prime Illusion, trained by Nakamura Stables

First ever graded stakes win for this horse here as she seemed to really like the bullring here at Hastings. She pulled away at the end to win by three quarters of a length.

2nd Techno Cheryl, trained by The Sidley Stud

A good closing second here by this filly as she rallied from nearly last in the early stages to get up for second and was only beaten three quarters of a length. She ran a very nice second in here.

3rd Golden Niagra, trained by Maxmillion Farm

A hard fought third here for this horse as she had a tough trip up near the lead for most of the trip. She was close and they went at a decent clip for the tight turns. She fought on and ran a pretty good third in here.

4th Nude Beach, trained by Nj Vets

Rounding out the top four here and she ran a decent race to end up finishing fourth. She was near the back early and made an okay run late to at least get up and hit the board. She was beaten two lengths by the top runner.

Summary

Big time win for the winning filly here as she earned her first ever graded stakes win in this race. She covered the mile and an eighth in 1:49.15 and earned $60.000 for the win. Congratulations to Nakamura Stables.
