Piotrowski, rallied on the second turn en route to an easy 2 \u00bd-length victory over <STRONG>Giantiano<\/STRONG> in the 1 1\/8-mile race, stopping the timer in a pedestrian 1:49 4\/5 on firm turf at Pennsylvania.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">Nag of Notley (Gone West, out of a Sadler\u2019s Wells mare) improved her career record to 16 wins from 33 starts while notching her 13<SUP>th<\/SUP> black-type win and her second in a row. Previously this season she finished second in the grade II Yabba Dabba Doo Handicap and third in the Flounder Turf Distaff (grade I). Nag of Notley lost her form mid-way through the\u00a0year but cutting back to a six-furlong sprint just before her current win streak seems to have reversed her fortunes. Following that 12<SUP>th<\/SUP>-place finish in the Triptych Memorial (gr. I), she won the 1 5\/16-mile Geronimo\u2019s Hoss Stakes on off going that she relishes before taking Saturday\u2019s race.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">Longshot <STRONG>Miya<\/STRONG> (22\/1) cruised to the early lead under a courageous ride from I. Snowden, building a 2 \u00bc length advantage over <STRONG>Border Collie<\/STRONG>, while Nag of Notley found a pocket behind the stalkers and ahead of the one-run closers. Nag of Notley began to pick up horses on the second turn, surged past 4\/1 second-choice Giantiano after that one edged to a brief lead in upper-stretch, and extended her margin to the wire. Giantiano held second, 1 \u00bd lengths ahead of the gutty Miya. Border Collie chased Miya around the track and checked in fourth, a half-length behind Miya and a half-length ahead of <STRONG>Sparkling Red<\/STRONG>. Closing <STRONG>Krug<\/STRONG> ran out of ground in the stretch and finished sixth, followed by <STRONG>Pops Birthday Gift<\/STRONG>, <STRONG>Black Listed<\/STRONG>, <STRONG>Lil\u2019Irish Lass<\/STRONG>, <STRONG>Hotdog Hiding<\/STRONG>, <STRONG>Diamondintheruff<\/STRONG>, and <STRONG>Halo for Helen<\/STRONG>.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\">Sent of at just under 4\/1, Nag of Notley returned $9.90 for the win.
