Also on Saturday, the $100,000 Giant's Causeway Stakes featured a field of nine older fillies and mares sprinting 5 1/2 furlongs on the turf. Just For Keeps sprinted clear down the backstretch, opening up a 2-length advantage while setting a fast pace of 22.09 and 45.16. Turning for home, she continued to lead but Danceroftherealm, 7th early, came out 3-wide for the drive and closed with a rush to nail the pacesetter at the line by 1/2 a length in 1:03.33 over the firm course. It was just a neck back to 11-1 Kindling in third. Just For Keeps was disqualified and placed fifth for interference in the stretch.
