At 40-1, Derma Sotogake led for much of the race before 5-2 favorite Fierceness took over. But Sierra Leone, at 6-1, attacked hard from the outside and beat Fiercness by more than a length. It was a sensational race for Sierra Leone, runner-up in this year’s Kentucky Derby.

3. Didia ($180,000): Show ($7.00)

Moira advanced past Full Count Felicia from the outside on the back stretch and held on for the win. Full Count Felicia was the leader for almost the entire race, but lost steam along the way and ultimately finished outside the top six. But thanks to 5-1 Moira for a sensational race, and jockey Flavien Prat, who won back-to-back races after riding Sierra Leone to victory. Cinderella’s Dream, the pre-race favorite, finished second.

2. Bentornato ($340,000): Place ($23.80), Show ($12.60)

3. Mullikin ($180,000): Show ($3.60)

This was a fantastic two-horse race between 6-1 Straight No Chaser and 25-1 longshot Bentornato. The federal judge led most of the race, but gave way to the two former horses during a showdown on the stretch. In the end, Straight No Chaser charged hard from the outside and won by almost one length.

1. Beyond Appearance ($1,040,000 wallet share): Win ($15.80), Place ($6.40), Show ($3.60)

2. Johannes ($340,000): Place ($5.20), Show ($3.60)

3. Mullikin ($180,000): Show ($2.80)

More Than Looks charged at the very back of the pack and emerged victorious, narrowly beating Johannes for the win. It was an incredible late kick for the 6-1 horse ridden by Jose Ortiz, who did a fantastic job here.
