Another bad bump at the start, do we have a poltergeist in gate #2? Prince Nasrullah leads off but is overtaken by stalkers Tobat and Rababa, who are in turn picked off by the closers Marc The Groove and Mystyk Kanroban. Vet check okay for Catnrose and Deeoa, both ladies were pretty shaken from the bouncing.

8/8 Seratiku,3 b f, COY, ns, 116,pp6, ran greenly at start, weaving, steadying to gain late

A clean break this time with Aqyra and Tomtika flying to the front in the expected speed duel! Ibn Farshalla pushes the fillies faster and faster now the pace-stalkers begin their advance. Raffarchyn and Silvona move up as if glued together. Jockey La Roche unable to use his whip at all in the final drive for fear of hitting Raffarchyn. Tomtika fought hard not to be passed, but could not hold them all off.

4. Maiden 4yo 7f $2500
Winner: Saley, 96 grey filly (Saming Fla x Aleydinzel ,SMR Ibn Orzel-r ) owned by Sue Mohr, bred by Rosen Stables ND, ridden by Jackson, winning time=1:33.0

6/6 Fame Is Simple,4 g c,PAH,ns,120,pp6, ran greenly, looking around

A clean break with a little weaving by Fame Is Simple, but he is in the far outside gate and did not interfere with any of the others. Ghaczera and Bandja scorch to the fore and the stalkers Dont Wanna Cry, Saley and Mara loom just behind. Dont Wanna Cry moves first to take the lead mid-stretch and looks to have the rest beaten. Here comes Saley now very late! A great finish from the determined stalker Saley. Disappointed bettors expected better of favorite Mara, who seemed distracted in her first start in blinkers.

5. Maiden 4/up 1 1/8 $2500
Winner: Misti Jo, 95 grey mare (Sammie Joe-r x Shadowmist ,SW Dawid-r ) owned by Coy Stout, bred by Nightstar Arabians CA, ridden by S.Tamahome, winning time=2:07.2

4/4 Zeddie, 5 b c, SRO, unpl, 122, pp2, stumbled out of gate, fought to catch up

The poltergeist in gate #2 returns! Zeddie has a serious stumble coming out, Jockey Tesha sustained a strained ankle from hitting the side of the gate, but was okayed for further riding today. Misti Jo sets a very slow pace and easily holds off all the stalkers. The soft pace was telling here today as nobody wanted the early lead.

6A. Allowance 4/up 7f $4200, Div.A f/m
Winner: Kaychi Kiki Ku, 95 bay filly (Sam Kiki Ku x *Kaychinaa , Kayahya) owned by Mary Hope Kramer, bred by Port Royal Stud GA, ridden by Carson Hammer, winning time=1:33.1

7/7 Silvern Sun, 5 ch f, SRO, w ,119,pp3, blocked by wall of horses, moving too late

Kaychi Kiki Ku and Fyzbanda are out fast, Seaside Denim gaining all the way but just didn't quite get there in time. Juml moves from far back and just squeezes through between Elke and Fyzbanda as they drop back, a nice move by jockey C. Evans to give Juml a chance- later closers were caught behind a wall of horses as the finish got very crowded!

6B. Allowance 4/up 7f $4200 Div. B c/g
Winner: Quark, 96 bay colt (Ordruf x *Ferengi ,Ferment-r) owned by Coy Stout, bred by Mystyk Arabians TX, ridden by H. Soi, winning time=1:33.3

7/7 Maffas, 4 ch c, SRO, alw, 120,pp1, pressed pace, tiring late but game

Clean break with Rikki Tiki Psyche and Quark trading leads on top, Maffas, Randall and Nar Qit close. Abrazo and Heath 3 lengths back, waiting for a chance. And down thwe stretch they come, Rikki Tiki Psyche tiring and Nar Qit chases Quark now, with Abrazo moving up. Nar Qit and Randall side by side gaining on the leader Quark, but not enough, only Abrazo has a shot. Quark hangs on to win it, with Abrazo and Randall finishing out the placings.

Winner: Wikarious, 97 bay colt (Wikreda x Kartwheel ,*Bataan-r ) owned by Coy Stout, bred by Mystyk Arabians TX, ridden by H. Soi, winning time=1:06.5 NTR!
1/6 Wikarious,3 b g, COY,SW ,122,*pp5, by nose, dueled early, looked finished, came back tough
2/6 Huran, 3 g g, SRO, w,121,pp2, by head, won speed duel, just barely overtaken in last strides

6/6 Rasa Hill,3 bl f, SRO, w,118,pp3, with speed duelers early, tired but kept trying
A flying start with Huran out early to a huge cheer, also there are Rasa Hill and Wikarious, those three setting a dangerously fast pace. Huran stubbornly holds off Wikarious, he's a fighter. None of the stalkers can touch these two. Everybody is dropping off from the speed duel out front with Huran and Wikarious- here comes Ben Struk flying from the back of the pack, though, does he have room to finish them off? So close, and... Look! Wikarious is inching up, he's at Huran's throatlatch now, Ben Struk is gaining fast on the outside, Huran on the rail being slowly overtaken by Ben Struck and Wikarious, it's too close to call! Wikarious on the nod!

8A. Lefthand Sprint Maturity 4/up 5f $9000 Div A. NSW
Winner: Tanczyk, 96 bay colt (Wikreda x Dancing Fire ,*Sambor - r ) owned by Mary-Ann Jantz, bred by Flyin Lion Stables TX, ridden by Justin LaRoche, winning time=1:05.8 NTR! Est SR
1/4 Tanczyk,4 b c, MAJ, SpW , 122,*pp3, by 2L, stalked pace, flew up to take it going away 2/4 Dilly Dantz,4 g f,SRO, w, 119,pp1, by nose, set early pace, tried hard, stayed close
3/4 Jilkah, 4 ch f, SRO, Spw , 119,pp2, by 2L,pressed pace, strong finish
4/4 Tyrelite, 5 g h, CWA, SpW , 124,pp4, bobbled in stretch, jockey pulled up
Dilly Dantz is out fast on the rail with Jilkah at his heels chasing. Tanczyk and Tyrelite right behind them. They are staying in formation, until the top of the stretch, where Tyrelite starts to make his move and bobbles coming around Jilkah. The jockey is swinging out, pulling Tyrelite up! Tanczyk moves now, putting Jilkah away and chasing down Dilly Dantz in a decisive move! Vet check is okay for Tyrelite, and he walked off the track under his own power. Film showed that jilkah and tyrelite may have clipped heels slightly. Better safe than sorry, I guess, but jockey Tamahome still looks pretty dejected. These guys and gals all want to bring home winners...

8B. Lefthand Sprint Maturity 4/up 5f $9000 Div B. SW
Winner: Mak Too, 95 bay colt (SW Dawid-r x *Makreda ,*Krezus-r ) owned by Coy Stout, bred by Norwood Farms CA, ridden by H. Soi, winning time=1:06.1

5/5 Najslav, 4 b f, PAH, SW,120,pp8, by 2L, stumbled out of the gate, charging up but left too far behind

Najslav goes to her knees at the break and smashes into Gwaetrae, but has room to recover as she bounces back out- What a relief. Zenieta is flying on the lead with Mak Too right on her heels, with Faerie Dragon and Gwaetrae tucked in behind. Mak Too takes over now, this is his kind of race! Najslav is still running? She's gaining on the pack after being left at the gate! There's not enough track to catch the leader Mak Too, though! Mak Too over a tough tough pack of fillies and mares!

9. Saabira Tu Stakes 3/up f/m 7f $12000

3/3 Mystyk Rokanta,4 ch f,COY,mw ,119,pp2, set super-fast pace, tired late
Clean break with Mystyk Rokanta on top, Damaa and Silav biding their time behind. They come around just like that, patient stalkers waiting for Mystyk Rokanta to tire. Now they're gaining on her, Mystyk Rokanta fighting back as the other two cathc up, it's going to be close, Damaa and Silav coming up. Mystyk Rokanta fights back as they catch her, it's down to the wire and Damaa is leading with Silav right alongside- It's Damaa with Silav 2nd and Mystyk Rokanta still close for third.

10. Geds Wings Stakes 3/up c/g 1 1/8 mT $12000
Winner: Mystyk Mosaan, 95 chestnut colt (Vanefous x Mystyk Antarra ,*Ibn Al Badi ) owned by Coy Stout, bred by Mystyk Arabians TX, ridden by H. Soi, winning time=2:06.1 Est TR, SR
1/4 Mystyk Mosaan,5 ch c,COY,SpW,124,pp3, by head, set unwanted pace, held on tenaciously to the lead
2/4 Rikki Tiki Mikki,5 b c,PAH, w,124,pp4, by head, stalked pace, great finishing rush not enough
3/4 Gwart, 5 g c,SRO, SW , 125, *pp1, by nose, slow break, charging up with huge strides late
4/4 Romaddin,5 b c,CWA, w, 124, pp2, stalked pace, strong finish not quite enough

And they're off! A clean break and all horses away, very slowly out for favorite Gwart. Mystyk Mosaan leading now at an easy gallop, with Rikki Tiki Mikki and Romaddin on his heels and Gwart bringing up the rear. The stalkers keep Mystyk Mosaan moving ahead, but aren't pushing for speed, we have a very slow pace going. Rikki Tiki Mikki comes up to challenge but Mystyk Mosaan won't let him by, he lets out another notch and easily gets some distance again. Romaddin and Rikki Tiki Mikki coming up again and here comes Gwart from way back! Mystyk Mosaan starts to really run at last and he's got challengers coming from all sides! Rikki Tiki Mikki is nose and nose and Romaddin has dropped back a bit, Gwart charging up the lane now, he can catch them- the jockey shows Mystyk Mosaan the whip and he surges forward again, getting his head in front as Gwart catches them at the wire! Very close!

Most Talked-About Horses: Huran (3yo grey gelding, SRO)- would he repeat his winning performance at FLT?
