LIFE AT TEN WINS THE BELDAME!

Life at Ten made a strong move on the far turn to win the $350,000 Beldame Stakes (gr. I) by two lengths.

Rated just off the pacesetters by jockey John Velazquez, Life at Ten, sent off as the 7-5 second choice, rebounded strongly off of her poor performance in the Personal Ensign Stakes last time out and only made clearer how good Rachel Alexandra was that day.

Queen Martha and Unrivaled Belle set the early pace, rattling off fractions of :23 1/5, :47 2/5, and 1:12 1/5. Queen Martha gave way in the stretch, but the 6-5 Unrivaled Belle fought on down the stretch to finish second. Persistently finished a long way back in third, followed by Queen Martha and Miss Match.
