The filly counterpart of the Metro Pace is the $810,300 She's A Great Lady Stakes for 2-year-old pacing fillies. Put On A Show was sent off as the 7-10 favorite in the field of 10 over 3-1 second choice Fancy Filly and 9-2 Rock N Soul.

Panagler led the field first time past the stands and around the clubhouse turn through a quarter in 27 1/5 before Rock N Soul took over on the backstretch. Rock N Soul set fractions of 55 1/5 and 1:23 2/5 before tiring at the top of the stretch. Put On A Show, who was 6th and very wide on the far turn, rolled on by the tiring pacesetters to win by 1/4 length over late-running Higher and Higher in 1:52. It was another 1/4 length back to Fancy Filly third.
