Fortune Over Peace

Mostly Peace, who was the even-money favorite, vaulted to the lead in this one, but was soon joined by Goldwrapinsilver. Those two took turns leading, but were no match for Lady Fortune who won by 4 despite drifting out. Mostly Peace did do well to hold second over the rest of the pack. By the way, Mostly Peace was claimed out of the race and will now be trained by R. Glen Mathieson, Jr.

Cassie hits the Mark in the Air

Floating On Air came out of the gate running, but was hounded by Keon.  Those two were locked together until the stretch where Floating On Air showed a reluctance to switch leads and tired. Meanwhile, Cassie's Mark, who had been tracking the pacesetters in third, went wide and passed them both. Be So Special also closed well for 2nd. See Eye to Eye ran a good race to finish 6th, as he spotted the field 3 or 4 lengths at the break.
