Swung out near the 1/4 pole to run widest of all in the stretch run, Secret Message gobbled up ground and took over inside the final furlong. The Brad Cox trainee drew off late to cross 1 1/4 lengths the best, completing the 1 1/16-mile firm turf route in 1:42.66. Room to Finish, the only runner further behind the winner early, similarly rallied to take second by a length over Jeanie B. Xanthique, Dalika, Loving Moment, Curlin’s Journey, and Kuora completed the order of finish. Joy Epifora was scratched.

D. Stakes. The 6-year-old Hat Trick mare improved her record to 21-7-2-3 with $564,413 earned lifetime. Secret Message returned $6.80 to win, $4.20 to place, and $3.40 to show. Room to Finish brought back $7 to place and $3.40 to show, while Jeanie B paid $3.20 to show.
