Somebodyslilly (Michael Oosting) moved first-over down the backside and paced strong to the wire to score in 1:50.2 in the opening division. Driven by Michael Oosting, Somebodyslilly used a :27 final quarter to track down the pacesetting Mystical Carrie (Trace Tetrick) late in the lane to record her fourth consecutive victory and second straight Indiana Sires Stakes victory.   

Trained, owned and bred by Eli Schwartz, the daughter of Time To Roll—Somebody’s Artist recorded her fourth win from five seasonal outs and sixth-lifetime win from 16 starts.
