1 1/8 miles dirt – 3 year old fillies

Faiza is undefeated. Brad Cox will saddle a couple of runners in Merlazza and Comparative. Todd Pletcher will also have two runners in the race, Frosty O Toole and Miracle.

George Weaver trained Sacred Wish is another with chance. Don’t be surprised if the results like what happened in the Kentucky Oaks, an underdog wins the Blackeyed Susans.
