finished second, 1 1/4 lengths ahead of Rare Opportunity, and Forever Cherokee, Post It, Forested and Stormy Blues completed the order of finish. This filly had just had a marvelous 10 or 12 days after the Derby," he said. "There was no sign of her not being good. I'm glad we were able to show the people of this area a very special filly.
