Especially because these efforts came behind the nitrogen of departmental leaders. It was completely justified Another proof and similar competition if the nose of the Grade 2 Jessamin Stakes offered by Keeneland sales last fall.

Winning candidate:
Classic Q She continued to improve in the races, running the best race of her career four weeks ago. While Jockey Jose Ortiz made his debut in the saddle for the first time in the Churchill Downs Turf, the Classic Q made an eye-catching move from the 2½ length before the same margin on the run of the 2½ length behind the leader. Thereafter, little encouragement was needed, but Philly scored a 4¾ length victory, earning a career-high 107 horse speed figure. To see it, when he won the Appalachian Stakes at Keeneland in April (beating Fion and completely justified) (beating lush lips and Ateradora), division leader Nitrogen scored a figure of 108. In four races this year, Classic Q started with a number 88 in January, with a pair of numbers 101 gradually getting faster before the 107 Equiver Speed Speed effort last month. With that in mind, Classic Q may be difficult to beat with the interests of this year’s regret.
Fion It also shows the types of improvement patterns you would like to see at age 3 during this period. She won 86 speed figures that won her 2025 debut in the Allance race in February, and won the Allen Black Catlacom Memorial Stakes in March. Stepping into the first rated stakes rank in April, Fion couldn’t match Nitrogen or Runner-up Vixen in Appalachian stakes, but ran third to penultimate, earning a new career-high 102 Equiver Speed figure. Nitrogen added a victory at Edgewood a month later, and Vixen came in third in that race. This suggests that Fion will continue to improve this race and will be a powerful factor.
Lush lips Prior to the start last November, he changed his trainer to Brendan Walsh, dominated seven lengths on the all-weather surface of Gulfstream Park. Moving onto the grass, this time the lush lips of two lengths won again. She then stepped up in class and ran in the Florida Oaks and Edgewood Stakes, both behind the Nitrogen. She got a horse speed digit of 101 in the Oaks and then at Edgewood she was a bit uncomfortable in the early stages, but after getting used to her last month, she was once again on a red-hot flavien Platt.
