Vexatious won, but it was close. Great effort by the filly, as she managed to get her nose in front in the middle of several horses all together at the wire.

Also half to J.B.'s Thunder (by Malibu Moon out of Rebridled Dream by Unbridled's Song). I just watched the replay, very impressive gate to wire win.

Defiant Honor (Speightstown - Honor Bestowed, by Honor Grades), full sister to Recepta who recently lost her battle with laminitis, finished 2nd (to Journey Home by War Front) in a roughly run Jimmy Durante Stakes, with a bunch of what looked like cardboard on the turf course.
