( Content Continues Below Ad ) I Get It and jockey Jose Ortiz broke from post 7 as the 5/2 second choice and took back to trail heading into the clubhouse turn. Joy of Painting set an easy pace, posting fractions of :24.64, :49.08, and 1:13.21 while running unpressured. Beginning to advance through the far turn, I Get It quickly found herself four abreast at the top of the stretch as Joy of Painting clung desperately to her shrinking lead. The 2/1 favorite World Tour shot to the rail as I Get It rallied down the middle of the lane with Hit the Woah between them, turning the final furlong into an all-out tussle. The Ronald Spatz-trained I Get It kicked ahead late to win the firm turf mile route by a 1/2-length in 1:36.11.

The pace wasn’t very hot, so I wasn’t able to drop in all the way. When I made my move, she responded very good. She has a beautiful turn of foot.” World Tour headed Hit the Woah for second, while Line Dancing made a late push to take fourth by a 1/2-length over Coworth Park. Joy of Painting, La Libertee, and Ball Lightning completed the order of finish in the race restricted to 3-year-old fillies. I Get It’s win was her first in a stakes and came in her second attempt at the level, having finished fourth in January’s Ginger Brew Stakes. The Maryland-bred Get Stormy filly’s record improved to 9-5-0-1 with $156,278 earned. “We’re real proud of her,” Spatz said. “We bought her as a yearling when she was kind of small and weedy-looking. I love Get Stormy, so we took a shot with her. You can’t measure their heart when they’re young, and she’s just got a huge heart.” I Get It returned $7 to win, $3.20 to place, and $2.80 to show. World Tour brought back $3 to place and $2.40 to show. Hit the Woah paid $5 to show. Full Card Plays Now Available There’s a reason we’re the #1 trusted source for premium racing picks & info.
