Track was fast; Ramon Dominguez, David Cohen and Cornelio Velasquez each won a pair.
SECOND RACE: Quick Call, 4-year-old Phipps filly with same name as the Saratoga horse-for-course gelding that won the Forego Handicap in 1989, was hammered to 6-5 after finishing distant fifth in her belated debut last month at Gulfstream Park.
She chased the pace outside under Alan Garcia, did not respond when asked for run on the turn and was all but eased down the lane.
FOURTH RACE: Dreaming of Cara, 3-year-old NY-bred filly facing older fillies and mare maidens for the first time, previously 0-for-7, opened at 1-5 after finishing second in her last two starts, drifted to 3-5 by post time.
Eva Lil, 40-1, went to the front around the clubhouse turn, then was pressed by 7-2 Notell, double-bug Samuel Camacho Jr. up, down the backside, with Dreaming of Cara tucked inside behind them under Dominguez. Into the far turn, Notell took command while Dreaming of Cara rallied after her between horses.
Down the stretch, Notell, a 5-year-old mare, was still in front, but Dreaming of Cara, put to a hard drive by Dominguez, gradually closed ground up the rail to wear down Notell late.
SIXTH RACE: I’m Magic, blinkers on and 15-1 dropping into 12.5G maiden claimer after she was beaten 20 lengths in her debut for 35G, gunned to the front under double-bug Jose Rodriguez to set the pace pressed by 6-5 favorite Granby Girl, Velasquez up.
Those two turned for home together, then I’m Magic cut the corner to open daylight at the top of the stretch.
Granby Girl dug in and came back at her, and in a long duel down the stretch, I’m Magic — benefiting from a seven-pound weight break thanks to her apprentice rider — never did let Granby Girl pass her, hanging on to win by a whisker on the wire.
