The Handicappers unanimously agreed to use third place finisher, My Soul Mate, to assess this race, leaving her rating unaltered on 106.
The only other change in this race was for Radicchio, who finished fourth and had to be capped at 103 due to the specific conditions of this race that do not allow for an increase of more than four points for placed runners.
There were no drops for any runner in this race.
