WAIT ON ME was off a step slow, was far off the pace, was given time to find her stride from the three path, starting moving at the half mile marker while still inside, caught the field around the five eighths pole, waited for racing room through the turn while smartly saving ground, came to the quarter pole and spilt one set of rivals, shifted inside and split a second pair of rivals, still being kept on point and encouraged, finally only had one more rival to pass nearing the wire, was ridden and encouraged, passed that foe and was up just in time for the win. Raced gamely. MALLY'
