It looked like our two horses, Medaglia d'Onore (colt; Medaglia d'Oro - Always Ready by Dixieland Band) and Persian (colt; Peace Rules - Lady Cheryl by Williamstown), took the match race reference to heart as they finished just a head apart. Unfortunately, they finished 4th and 5th respectively and did not threaten the top three. The early part of the race was dominated by a speed duel between the filly, Mine All Mine, and the high-seller, Bullion Cache. Mine All Mine put away Bullion Cache, but she couldn't hold off the oncoming Theregoesjojo who closed rather impressively to win going away.
