After cutting a comfortable :57.2 front half, Crisp Mane appeared uncatchable. But when Ridge Warren angled Slick Artist A off the cones from third into the final turn, the 8-year-old daughter of Art Major-Slick Bird accelerated quickly and downed Crisp Mane by half-length in 1:53.2 over a “good” surface. Irish Daydream finished third.

Gerald Lee, Jr. owns and trains Slick Artist A, who lifted her lifetime bankroll to $322,540.

It was one of four wins for Warren on the 12-race card, giving him eight over the past two days.
