10/21 Dowager – Grade III
1 1/2 Mile Turf Stake Purse $125.000 Filly & Mare 3 Year Olds And Up.

1st   Sovereign Nation               Paradise Stable  Court J K

On a day when plenty of big winners were coming from a mile off the pace this one who let the leaders go well clear sat watching them closely in the distance. Making stealthy ground she picked them up and won by a half length keeping on too gamely in the end. This was a deserved success for a mare that has been running much better than her results suggest.

2nd   Volare                      Axeman   Lanerie C J

This grand old warrior very nearly won coming with the winner but just not having the legs inside the distance. She really doesnt know what retirement is and i am sure there is another stakes left in her.

3rd   Smokin Nebulae          Drabfantasy  Albarado R J

The odds on favourite just wasnt strong enough in the end and had to settle for yet another place finish.
4th=   Nice Laff Phooey                Maxmillion Farm  Bridgmohan S X

Made the running and looked like she may sneak away at the mile mark but had nothing left in the end and gave way to the swoopers.

4th=          Raven Rock                 Team 7 Illusions     Landeros C

Ran home with the pack but was well held in the end.
