Find Out Why Field Day, ridden by Tyler Gaffalione, stumbled at the break and was relegated to eighth up the backstretch behind a swift :22.51 early 1/4-mile from pacesetter Bodenheimer. Gaffalione had Field Day positioned at the rail but switched to the 3 path to begin his charge at the leader. Around the far turn, following a 1/2-mile fraction of :45.72, Gaffalione tipped Field Day to the outside and made a bold rally down the center of the track to get past Bodenheimer at the wire. Field Day completed the 5 1/2-furlong journey in 1:05.63 on the listed “good” Matt Winn Turf Course.

She settled in nicely around the turn and was able to run down a rally game horse on the front end.” Field Day, who was the 9/5 post time favorite, paid $5.60, $3.60 and $3.20. Bodenheimer, with jockey Brian Hernandez Jr. aboard, returned $7 and $3.80. Cees Get Degrees, at odds of 29/1, finished third under Colby Hernandez and paid $8.80. Rockstar Ro, Into the Sunrise, Sasim, Unitedandresolute and Lookin for Loki completed the running order. Field Day is a 3-year-old bay gelding by Broken Vow out of the Stormy Atlantic mare Sunny Isles.
