Purse $125.000 For Fillies And Mares Three Years Old And Upward.
1st Time To Leave, trained by Hambletonian Stables
Pushed into a stalk early she got into the front rank around halfway and would not give and inch after that. Repelling all comers she fought off the challengers to last home by a nose in a very game performance. This was a sixth win in the seaosn from her fourteenth start and is certainly one in teh eye for any trainer that wraps their horses in cotton wool. As tough as they come this four year old daughter of Chai Latte could have a few good seasons in her yet.
2nd Danzigs Dalmary, trained by Jerry Garcia Racing
Got to the front out of the gate but was steadied at halfway and allowed the winner to get upsides. Most of us thought having given up the lead she would fade away but she refused to give up and kept fighting all the way to the line. This really couldve gone either way but she lost the bob and had to settle for second.
3rd Safety First, trained by Allinthegate
With the race being won from a pretty average pace up front it was always going to be hard to close the leaders down but this daughter of Pure Steel had the right position to do it but couldnt in the end. Keeping on for third she ran well in a first attempt at black type and given a bit more experience may do well as a five year old.
4th Nice Doe, trained by Hambletonian Stales
Ran on from a fair way back but never looked like being an closer than fourth.
5th Fabolous
For once the three year olds faltered and this was ran a pretty uninspired race to finish second last.
6th Marejada
Close enough early on she gradually fell away to be last. She was a big dissapointment and may find herself back in overnight grade.
