It was billed a two horse race, and in the end, that's what it was as Clairiere (m, 5, Curlin–Cavorting, by Bernardini) called on her furious final kick to run down an equally game Secret Oath (Arrogate) on the wire to take the GI Apple Blossom H. and add her name to a prestigious list of winners. Hot and Sultry (Speightster) held on to third after putting up all the fractions early in a short four horse field. It was conditioner Steve Asmussen's fourth win on the card. The final time was 1:43.36.
