Sadler Wins"},"content":{"rendered":"

In each of the past four runnings of the Grade II Fantasy Stakes from Arkansas, two of the top three finishers have gone on to run in the Bluegrass Oaks.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This year\u2019s edition may send all three, and they will be looking to finish in the money there \u2013 something that hasn\u2019t happened in the past four years.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Shaking off an early challenge from a longshot, A.P. Sadler <\/B>held off the late chargers to win.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She now has two graded wins and a record of five wins in ten starts for the LostCode<\/I><\/B> stable.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In her two previous races, A.P. Sadler had made bold moves in the top of the stretch only to be run down late.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Today, while the margin was decreasing at the end, she looked the strongest she ever has.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

With the win, A.P. Sadler moves up in the rankings from 15th<\/SUP> to sixth at the distance among her peers.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Maintaining her number one ranking with a second place finish was the favorite: Super21\u2019s<\/I><\/B> No Apagues La Luz.<\/B>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This was the second straight race the Empire Maker filly has been just shy of catching A.P. Sadler.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Moving fastest of all at the end, but moving too late, was the show horse Armed with Money.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/B>The Monkfield<\/I><\/B> trained filly was overtaken in the ranking system by the winner and dropped to a number nine ranking, still highly enough ranked to qualify for an early May race.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

The winning time on a good dirt surface was 1:42.8 and earned a 98 speed figure.<\/P>
