I missed the exacta when the Catalano got past Third Chance in the final strides.
I thought Third Chance ran an extremely good race, however, when you look at the fact that every other horse anywhere near that :45 opening half mile finished well behind her, while the top two finishers sat comfortably off that. The winner looked good in the lane and is obviously beginning to put together a nice 2yo campaign, but I think Third Chance might be the horse you'd want coming out of this one. It was a pretty impressive race by her, particularly given the 3f stretch-out.
