2009 Breeders' Stakes

By Cindy Pierson Dulay, About.com Guide

The $125,000 Nandi Stakes featured a field of 11 Ontario-sired 2-year-old fillies sprinting 6 furlongs on Polytrack. 7-2 second choice Oistins moved to the lead exiting the chute under regular rider Jim McAleney and battled for the lead with Threshold down the backstretch through fractions of 22.62 and 46.31. Turning for home, Threshold tired but Shesadozer put in a strong rally out wide. Oistins held her off late to get the hard-fought victory by a neck in 1:12.22. It was 3/4 length back to Peploe third, while 6-5 favorite Elated Moon finished 5th.
