Welcome to the running of the Consumato Derby, the third leg in the Risorgimento Cup, consisting of the industries top Grade Threes and Grade Twos. The field is full today and everyone is expecting a great show to be put on. Unfortunately, we did have one scratch though from Star Thoroughbreds. It looks as though Stalker's Fury will not be running today, due to a little oversight with overlapping jockeys. A shame, since this filly has been having a stellar year...but nonetheless, the field is still going to be intense today.

Leading the way into the first gate is Sizzling Dawn, from Stride of Perfection Stables. This small filly won a leg of the Triple Crown in the Preakness Stakes. She's looking to be in top form as she approaches the gate. She's playing up a bit for Henna, but she's got the filly under control and there she goes into the gate.

Following is The Rising, a more recent addition to Nature Blue Stables. This colt has had a solid career this year, racing primarily here on The Wire. He just placed third in a HOTY race on GHF and is looking to progressively grow sharper as time passes. He's prancing down the dirt track like a parade pony, commanding people's attention - my doesn't he look great! He's stomping his feet a bit at the gate, but Carlos' is pressing him onward and the colt looks eager to be off.

Thirdly is the rocketing, Indian Darling. She's just coming up a win in the second leg of this series in the Valorizzare Derby. After having a somewhat quiet 2 year old season, she's slaying in her three year old season and hasn't finished outside of the money yet. She's power-housing this walk to the gate and Laura seems to be smiling along with her confident stride. She looks more than ready for this race.

Lusitania's Soldier has his eyes locked onto Indian Darling and tried to close the gap on the filly, but Marissa is quick to get the colt in-hand. This son of Akuma Battlecry is looking prime today, but has it out for Indian Darling, the winner of last weeks RC race. He hasn't forgotten the loss he suffered and it seems he's out for retribution today. We have a bunch of hot heads out on the track today because Solider too is playing up at the gates.

Last, but not least we have Novizio Derby winner, GS Super Charged from Nature Blue Stables. Chris Stevens has a grim look on his face, as he checks out the competition.

Looks like everyone is finally settling in and now the wait...

And they're off!

Sizzling Dawn flies to the front with The Rising hot on her heels. Indian Darling breaks well and is settling in four lengths behind the leading pair. GS Supercharged and Lusitania's Soldier have settled down in the back, two lengths behind Indian Darling. The front end pace is a little fast, but Sizzling Dawn is refusing to let The Rising pass her up. It looks like Henna is trying to keep the filly's front end pace regulated, but she's struggling with the pressing The Rising.

Indian Darling is biding her time, but keeping close tabs on the leaders and isn't letting the gap grow. GS Supercharged and Lusitania's Soldier are starting to pick up the pace a little bit as the crew flies around into the backstretch.

The crew is simply flying and the first half goes in 1:06:15!!! This is amazing! Sizzling Dawn is running a cruel pace! How long can she keep this up with The Rising pushing her?! The crew is making the final turn and look! Here comes Indian Darling!! She's flying like a bird and coming up on the outside of The Rising! Sizzling Dawn hears the approach and I don't believe it, but she's tapping into another gear! She's pulling away, but Indian Darling is giving chase and The Rising just doesn't have it to chase down these two fillies after pressing the leader the entire race! In the back end, the two closers are simply flying - they aren't about to be forgotten and Lusitania's Soldier IS GOBBLING UP the distance!!! His eyes are zeroed in on Indian Darling! Look at this colt fly and there's only five lengths left!!! Sizzling Dawn pushes one last time and is powering away and now Indian Darling is trying to fight off a vindictive Lusitania's Soldier! GS Supercharged is barreling down to the finish and sweeps his neck in front of The Rising in a grand FINISH!

Sizzling Dawn has iron maned this race ladies and gentlemen! Henna is taking the bay filly on a victory gallop and a photo finish is going to have to be observed to decipher who came out in second place....with an ending time of 2:12.31...we have a new track record.
