RACE 1
| 7. Pinotslilgirl | Sophomore won this race nicely last out; trainer Gaudet 18% with a positive ROI first off the claim |

Racing Notes
- Jeiron Barbosa swept the day’s first three races, none on the favorite…
- One of those wins came on Great Andrei for trainer Jerry Robb; the 2yo filly won at first asking by 12 1/2 lengths in 52.35 seconds for 4 1/2 furlongs — more than a second faster than the boys had done it two races earlier

| 6. Porquerolles | Beaten favorite over ultra-boggy Preakness day course at Pimlico; should get firmer surface today |
| 8. Missionaire | Ramsey barn with productive start |
