1st: #6 Your Worst Nightmare (London Racing/J.J. Castellano 124): Stalked the pace from the three-path.  Gave-up ground rounding the turn and into the lane.  Found her best stride in the final furlong.  Got up in the final strides to take a five-horse photo in a rousing finish.

2nd: #3 Angelic (D J C Racing Stables/D. Davis 121): Rode the rail in a trio at the back.  Stuck to the inside into the lane.  Rallied boldly between runners but just missed the bob.

3rd: #5 Tropical Mama (Maxmillion Farm/G.G. Richards 121): Sent to the front, was uncontested for a half.  Put to a drive at the top of the lane, just got caught.

3rd: #1 Luck Be A Lady (Nakamura Stables/B. Hernandez 124): Tracked the pace from the rail.  Shifted to the two-path at the top of the lane.  Strong rally, but couldn’t get to the top two.

Your Worst Nightmare improves to 18-9-4-2 with the win and has now amassed $340.440 in earnings.  Congratulations to her and London Racing on their Floral Park victory!
