\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>Without any true pace-setters in the race, the daughter of High Chaparral jumped to the lead from the break, with career starter Mrs. Reeley<\/B> pushing the leader. Shake A Spear<\/B> settled into third, just trailing the top two horses, while Inside The Eighth<\/B> dropped back a little off the pace of the front pack, but seemed to be comfortable in her stride. The second first-time racer in the field, CC Four<\/B>, fell to the back immediately and never had anything to show, continually dropping farther back as the race went on.<\/P>
\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>Things really began to take shape at about the 2.5-furlong mark, as Mrs. Reeley began to show her inexperience and quickly dropped off the pace. With the other runners going steady, Shake A Spear just waited for her moment as they rounded the turn, where she turned on her jets and charged towards the front. High Hill Prospect had too much, though, and the challengers were no match as High Hill Prospect held on to control from gate to wire and win by two lengths. Inside The Eighth took advantage of the weakening Mrs. Reeley to make a push and finish in third, four-and-a-quarter lengths back from Shake A Spear. Mrs. Reeley and CC Four both finished more than 11 lengths off the pace.<\/P>
\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>While High Hill Prospect looked impressive to onlookers, her speed of 68 did not turn too many heads. Popular among bettors with jock L Bucholtz on board, the top finisher paid $3.80 to win.<\/P>
\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>\u201cIt may not have been her best run ever, but she did what she had to do,\u201d Bucholtz said. \u201cI think she had plenty left to run harder if she had been pushed.\u201d<\/P>
\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>Shake A Spear and jock B Clark paid out $4.20 to place while Inside the Eighth and rider B Coates went $2.10 for show. The bettors\u2019 second choice, Mrs. Reeley, finished in fourth, while CC Four brought up the rear.<\/P>
\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>\u201cI can\u2019t really say anything went horribly wrong,\u201d Mrs. Reeley jock M Arnold<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> said. \u201cIt was her first time running when it mattered, and she\u2019ll get it figured out.\u201d<\/P>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>The exacta went off the board at $10.60, while trifecta winners are looking at a payout of $45.40.<\/P>
\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>The runners split a $55,000 purse.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
