REGALLY READY WINS THE TWIN SPIRES TURF SPRINT!

Regally Ready pulled off a mild upset in the first stakes race of the day at Churchill Downs, wearing down Bridgetown in deep stretch to win the $100,000 Twin Spires Turf Sprint Stakes (gr. III) by about a length.

Ridden by Corey Nakatani, the four-year-old gelding settled just off of a quick early pace set by Bridgetown, who ran the opening quarter mile in :21.89. He made a bold run on the outside to reach contention and hit the wire in :56.57.

Favored Chamberlain Bridge rallied late for third.
