Three Year Olds Fillies

1st Lit Up By The French, trained by Mb Stables

A huge run from this filly right here as she earned her first ever graded stakes win. She was taken off the pace a little bit in here which she much rather prefers. She was right off the speed and then turned it on down the lane to win by a head. She ran the race in 1:46.39 and earned $90.000 for the win.

2nd Trippi Tip Toe, trained by Estero Farms

A very big run from this filly also as she battled the winner all the way down to the wire and pretty much ran a winning race for sure. She sat right behind the leader early and then her and the winner hooked up down the stretch and she was just unfortunate to get beat a head.

3rd Steal The Heart, trained by Samlam

Also a very nice run from this runner here as she closed pretty nicely to get up for third. She was about five lengths off the lead early and then she made a pretty nice down the lane. She ran third and was only beaten by a length for it all. She ran a very good race.

4th Nebraska Years, trained by Alydar Stables

And rounding out the top four right here was this filly who made a little bit of a run down the stretch. She was around seven lengths back early on in the race and then gained a little bit of ground throughout. She didn’t run bad at all and at least took home a little bit of money.

Summary

A very big win from the winner of this race as she earned her biggest win yet as this was her first ever graded stakes win. She had to duel it out down the stretch but she prevailed by a head. She should move on to bigger and better things after this. Congratulations to Lit Up By The French and Mb Stables.
