All the while, Dam Lucky followed her lead, keeping her within a 1-1/2-length reach. Down the lane, three of the feature pacers fanned out. Dam Lucky got up in time to take the win by a quarter of a length in 1:59.4. Eastcoast Invader (Monica Sutherland) took second and JJ Scarlett rounded out the top three.
