Only 20,626 fans were in attendance on Friday for the $150,000 Lake George Stakes (G2) for 3-year-old fillies going 1 1/16 miles on the inner turf. Mousse au Chocolat was the 9-5 favorite in her U.S. debut, after finishing second in the Prix de Sandringham at Chantilly. Boiling Springs and Gaviola Stakes winner My Princess Jess was the 2-1 second choice over Regret third place finisher Zee Zee at 3-1.

Stealin' Kisses set a pace of 25.24, 50.14, and 1:14.59 over the soft turf course, while as many as 1 1/2 lengths ahead of Alwajeeha in second. Entering the stretch, Stealin' Kisses tired allowing Alwajeeha to inherit the lead with a furlong to go. However, My Princess Jess, who stalked the pace in third, came through between horses, closing with a rush to prevail by 3/4 length in 1:44.00. It was another 2 lengths back from Alwajeeha to late-running Zee Zee third. Favorite Mousse au Chocolat finished last. There was a brief stewards' inquiry into the stretch run but the result was allowed to stand.
