Roussong had a lot of speed to close into, and he made up a lot of ground, but there was simply too big of a gap. Toss Up is one heck of a speedy colt XD

JOE O'FARRELL JUVENILE FILLIES* - 9F - 2YO - FILLIES - G5+
FIRST Hysteria
SECOND Apache Sunrise
THIRD Winning Fire
FOURTH Rise Me Gold

Holy moley, this group was like dead even, seriously. Based on the way I saw the race going, Gold and Sunrise dueled out for the lead head to head with Hysteria fast behind. Wide gap back to Winning Fire. Hysteria found a little sweet spot and pulled off the win over the others, with Fire snagging her nose in with a close at the end. This is one of those swing races where everybody fights for and deserves it but only one can win.

THE HONORABLE STAKES* - 11F - G2+
FIRST Speak Easy
SECOND Devil's Flair
THIRD Wild Determination
FOURTH Uno Momento
FIFTH Silent Heart

I love Uno Momento, but the top three would not give way, he was the only one under four in this race and the most inexperienced. I didn't like putting Silent Heart last, but she was completely outmatched today by the top three. Although she is a year older than Uno Momento, he has a solid backing in HOTY racing, she needs more time in HOTY company.
