2008 Suburban Handicap and Mother Goose Stakes

The first stakes race on the card was the $75,000 Elmont Stakes for New York bred 3-year-old fillies at 1 mile on the Widener turf course. Canadian Ballet battled on the pace with Go Go Bar through fractions of 23.42 and 46.89. After 3/4 mile in 1:11.31, Go Go Bar tired badly and faded to last, as Canadian Ballet let the field into the final furlong. However, the fast pace set the race up for the closers. 3-5 favorite I Lost My Choo, who was fifth early, came out wide at the 3/16 pole and closed with a rush, getting up to win by a head over another closer, Blitzen Too, in 1:34.26 over the firm course. It was another 2 1/4 lengths back to Ambidaxtrous third.
