Samsincharge, who was the clear speed, easily made the lead and inside into the first turn, however, the 1 and 4 loomed up outside as Fragoso slowed it down. Instead of maintaining the lead, Fragoso for some unknown reason abdicated on the turn and took back to third or fourth, despite a 25 plus opening quarter ( and subsequent 50 plus half ). A True Pussycate, who had been granted the lead, obviously was able to cruise to victory.
Daytime Promise, who has no speed, made a quasi-menacing move from last into the stretch, but had no finish. I guess the lesson to be learned is to win the gifts they give you.
Oh, and to be highly suspicious of what went on during the running of the race. The stewards would be remiss to not at least ask Mr. Fragoso what was going through his mind early in that race.
