Reign of Fire was hustled to the lead, but Governor Goteven soon joined her and raced two-wide heading into the far turn. Getting clear of her rival at the 1/8 pole, Governor Goteven drew off in the stretch to win by 3 1/2 lengths. The Lisa Bernard trainee completed the 5 1/2-furlong fast dirt sprint restricted to California-bred juvenile fillies in a final time of 1:05.55.

We put the other filly away and just went on with it.” Big Andy hit the gate as she broke from the rail as the 6/5 favorite and trailed early. She rallied in the stretch to take second by 1 1/2 lengths over Reign of Fire. Righteously and Jasmine Chieftain completed the order of finish. I’m So Anna and Love Wins were scratched.

The Govenor Charlie filly has now earned $87,000. “I feel fantastic; it’s very wonderful,” said Bernard, who notched her first win at the meet. “(Governor Goteven) has been a really fun 2-year-old to deal with and I knew she was training really well. We won first time out with her at Santa Anita and I had a lot of faith in her. They just tell you. You just know sometimes.” Governor Goteven returned $8.80 to win, $3 to place, and $2.20 to show. Big Andy brought back $2.40 to place and $2.10 to show, while Reign of Fire paid $2.60 to show.
