2006 Matron and Futurity Stakes Day

Also on the card was the $150,000 Noble Damsel Breeders' Cup Handicap (G3), a 1-mile trip over the Widener turf for older fillies and mares. 3-1 second choice Pommes Frites was loose on the lead for the first seven furlongs through easy fractions of 23.14, 48.27, and 1:11.88, but 2-1 favorite Karen's Caper, who had raced in mid-pack early, came out wide and closed strong down the center of the course to run by her inside the 1/16 pole to prevail by just 3/4 length in 1:34.91. It was another 3/4 length back to 7-2 third choice Mauralakana in third.

Winning jockey Edgar Prado said, "She broke well, but she doesn't have the speed to be right up there. You've just got to let her relax and let the race develop. She's got a real nice kick and she was there when I asked her."
