The Ogden Phipps is a Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” event, with She’s a Julie receiving an automatic berth in the Longines Distaff at Keeneland this November. ( Content Continues Below Ad ) Sent from post 3 as the 14/1 longest shot on the board under Ricardo Santana, Jr., She’s a Julie sat in mid-pack along the rail early after her two inner-breaking foes were both slow into stride. Up ahead, Blamed narrowly led Ollie’s Candy in the early running while posting opening fractions of :22.84, :45.98, and 1:09.86. As She’s a Julie rounded the far turn still in third, Santana, Jr., took a peek back at the 5/16 pole to see where the rest of the field sat, then gave his steed the green light. Tipping out at the top of the stretch as she came under a drive, She’s a Julie received pressure from Point of Honor to her outside as they their sites on new leader Ollie’s Candy, who momentarily looked like she might run away with it. She’s a Julie fought gamely as she and Point of Honor neared Ollie’s Candy inside the 1/16 pole.

Golden Award lost contact with the field midway through the far turn and was eased in the lane before walking off under her own power.
