Kathmanblu, the heavy favorite at 3-5, rallied strongly in the homestretch to win the Rachel Alexandra Stakes (gr. III) by two lengths at Fair Grounds.
Ridden by Julien Leparoux, the filly sat fourth in the early going, well off of the pace set by Gran Lioness. Bouquet Booth was sitting in second, followed by Chloe Kate. Tapit Dancer and Inglorious trailed.
The positions remained relatively unchanged until the stretch. At that point Bouquet Booth and Kathmanblu began their bids for the lead, and Inglorious was gearing up on the outside. But Kathmanblu proved better than both of them, drawing away under urging to win. Inglorious rallied gamely for second, while Gran Lioness held third over Bouquet Booth.
The final time was 1:45.13.
