Ce Ce Edges out Ollies Candy for the Apple Blossom

On Saturday, Ce Ce edged out Ollie's Candy to win the Apple Blossom handicap. Throughout the race, Ollie's Candy and Cookie Dough set the pace, while Serengeti Empress kept close. Ce Ce closed into a hot pace to barely nose out Ollie's Candy. Serengeti Empress did not show up and faded, as she could not set the early pace and dominate. Similarly, Come Dancing could not handle the hot pace, and faded. Ce Ce will now have hopes for the Breeders Cup later in the year, as she is a rising star, so will Ollie's Candy, who has been running consistently behind some of the best female horses in North America. Point of Honor finished the race in 3rd, and Street Band filled the superfecta in fourth.
