Call

The horses have reached the starting gate! They're all in line... andddddd they're off!

It's a good break for the field except for Overdraft, who rears as the gates open and breaks last of all! It's a scramble for the lead here with Sourpuss running up the rail to take command, Vice Versa will take back into second five wide, Monhroe is forwardly placed here with Sass Street Wonder at the rail, Chaos tucked in between the pair with Phar South wide on the outside, Seraphina going on seven wide to the outside, Akiba's Idol widest of all on the extreme outside, with Rephaim and Overdraft running on last as the field runs an opening quarter in 23.4 and heads into the clubhouse turn! Sourpuss leads the field by a length with Vice Versa tracking on the far outside, Definite Madness charging up between rivals, Sass Street Wonder and Phar South book-ending, Monhroe shuffled back a spot, Chaos tucked in at the rail, Seraphina and Akiba's Idol running on together at the outside, with Overdraft second last and Rephaim trailing after a half in 47.6. They run on past the half mile pole and VICE VERSA has taken the lead, Sourpuss backing up out of it with Definite Madness charging up on the outside, Sass Street Wonder in good position, Phar South at the outside with Akiba's Idol widest of all, Overdraft looking for room to run between rivals, Rephaim on his heels as they run on to six furlongs in 1:11.9 and approach the far turn! Vice Versa is in front by only a length and a half, she's got a little more than two furlongs to hang on with Sass Street Wonder creeping closer, Chaos driving up between rivals five wide with Phar South coming on with them and Akiba's Idol floating wide as they round the bend and enter the homestretch!

At the top of the lane with a furlong and a half to go, VICE VERSA is our leader BUT CHAOS WILL RUN ON TO THE OUTSIDE WITH SASS STREET WONDER DRIVING UP THE RAIL! Sass Street Wonder roaring up the rail with Chaos trying to go on with her, Vice Versa digging deep between the two with Phar South and Akiba's Idol flying up on the far outside, those two fillies coming on strongly with SASS STREET WONDER OUR LEADER COMING INTO THE FINAL FURLONG! Sass Street Wonder digging with all she's got, Vice Versa coming back with Phar South closing fast on the outside, Chaos losing steam, Akiba's Idol driving but spinning her wheels, they're past the sixteenth pole AND SASS STREET WONDER IS HOLDING ON BY INCHES! Sass Street Wonder is all guts and heart with Vice Versa running on to her outside, Phar South flying in late, these three fillies going on to the finish, they're coming to the wire, SASS STREET WONDER DIGGING DEEP, VICE VERSA COMING ON WITH EACH STRIDE, PHAR SOUTH RIGHT THERE, SASSY TRYING TO HOLD ON, VICE VERSA WITH ONE LAST JUMP, HERE'S THE FINISH----

SASS STREET WONDER wins the first race of her career in gut wrenching fashion! Vice Versa is second, Phar South third, Chaos fourth and Akiba's Idol fifth.
