Thursday Race 8
Race 8 is the Juv Fillies Turf.
Like the other 2 turf races on Friday the top 4 places were won by European two year olds. 8 of the 14 entrants were Euros. Many of the fillies entered had run against males and done so successfully more than once.
The win and place horses had 8 and 5 races. The winning #9 with 8 races had won 5 graded races vs males! and had never finished worse than 2nd in any race. The place horse had won a grade 1 and a grade 2 and placed up close in another grade 1 and 2 grade 3s all against males. The win and placce horses were the only multiple graded stakes winners in the field.
3 other horses had more than 5 starts, but only one Grade 3 win among them. The show and 4th place horses had 2 and 3 races respectively. The 4th place horse had won a Grade 1 race against males and place well vs males in a G3 race. The show horse #3 only raced vs. fillies, won a Grade 3 in second start.
The New Pace TM ranks were 118 for the winner #9 and the place horse, #1, there was a 115 (#10 finished 4th) and the #6 had a 114. The next group were all 105 or less.
