In the first senior championship qualifier race we see two champion horses square off.
Two former breeders cup champions squared off in this 7 furlong contest. Anfield Road's six year old virtual horse Rock the Casbah who won last seasons 3 yr old Breeders Cup sprint on dirt was put to the turf for the third time in his career. He squared off with Take Charge Kitty who was on a 4 race win streak including a 3/4 length win in last seasons Breeders Cup turf sprint.
Indian Breeze cut out some early fractions in her first attempt at the championship level but was found lacking coming down the stretch as Take Charge Kitty stalked the pace for a dream trip. Kitty was able to pull clear by 2 lengths over a closing Olaha and Rock the Casbah who finished 4th. Fallen Angel who carried the high weight of 142 lbs was simply saddled with too much weight to compete and finished last after being positioned mid pack throughout.
