TUSCAN EVENING GOES 6-FOR-6!!

Tuscan Evening continued her 2010 undefeated streak by winning the 54th running of the grade III Modesty Handicap at Arlington Park in wire-to-wire fashion.

Setting slow fractions under Rafael Bejarano, the five year old mare held off 16-1 shot Eclair de Lune through the stretch to win by a length.

The final time 1:55 flat. Hot Cha Cha finished third after tracking the pace, a nose in front of second choice Rainbow View, who was rank at the back of the pack for much of the race before rallying mildly to just miss fourth.

Askbut I won'ttell finished fifth, with Single Solution trailing the field.

So here are the results. . .

1 Tuscan Evening
2 Eclair de Lune
3 Hot Cha Cha
4 Rainbow View
5 Askbut I won'ttell
6 Single Solution

. . . and here were my picks.
