By Rick Francis —-

Race 3) Grade III Bed o’ Roses F&M 7 Furlongs Post Time 1:52 EDT

2) American Gal – winner of the G1 Test and last out held off a strong Grade 1 Humana Distaff field at Churchill, both contests run at today’s route.

1) Ivy Bell – Distaff runner-up may not have cared for the mud hitting her causing her to come out late; formidable challenger here.

6) Lewis Bay – filled out the trifecta in the Distaff; trainer/jockey together hit at 27 percent.

5) Divine Miss Grey – she’s won 3-of-4 along with a second here; can’t let her get away.
