Windmill had to settle for third after setting the pace. ( Content Continues Below Ad ) Breaking from post positon three under leading rider Ricardo Santana Jr., Abrogate tracked Windmill in second through fractions of :21 3/5 and :45 for the first 1/2-mile. She gained the advantage by a head at the top of the lane and dug in late to prevail over a rapidly-closing Joyful Cadence in a final time of 1:10 2/5 for 6 furlongs over a fast track.“She showed the quality she has under very good conditions,” trainer Steve Asmussen said. “She’s a very good filly and we see good things in her future.”Abrogate, an Outwork filly, improved her record to 3 wins from 4 starts and has now earned $234,492. She returned $8, $3.40, and $2.10 at odds of 3/1. Santana Jr.: “A lot of people don’t know that we missed 11 days of training. We knew she was going to be a little flat in her last race. We took it easy with her that day. Today, she was on her toes and everything changed today.”Jockey David Cabrera, second on Joyful Cadence: “I knew it was a fast race. The filly ran a really big race. We got caught going a little wide. She was into the bit pretty good. We worked all the way down the lane, but we just never could get by that other one.”
