5-MAEJUSMAC...mare has been potent in this class last two starts & has drawn coveted post. Stays in “4’s.”
4-I SAW RED...went big mile in last pulling turn 2 and then double-bubbled final 5/16s in very good effort.
3-AHLBBACK YANKEE...enjoyed class relief in last but just did hang on the for win. She’s still a game fighter.
