Ten older fillies and mares traveled a marathon 1 7/16 miles on the turf in
the Grade 3 $100,000 The Very One Handicap. 6-1 shot Dynamite Lass settled of
the pace in ninth down the backstretch, saved ground on the rail on the far
turn, and rallied to get up by 3/4 length over 6-5 favorite Olaya in a time of
2:18.81 over the firm course. It was just a nose back to 3-1 second choice
Noble Stella in third. Winning trainer Kiaran McLaughlin said, "I thought
we'd be more forwardly placed than that. Rafael (Bejarano) rode a perfect
race. She's a very nice filly. She finished second so many times (four), and
I'm glad she finally got a Graded stakes win."
