FARMINGTON, N.Y. – A field of 14 New York-bred 2-year-old fillies started from the gate in the $141,675 Lady Finger Stakes at Finger Lakes Gaming and Racetrack on Saturday. The event concluded with a photo finish between stablemates from the the same barn. Dunn Listening caught Evrybdymstgetstonz at the wire to secure a successful exacta sweep for trainer Gary Contessa.
Evrybdymstgetstonz set the early pace of the expensive dash and led by a large margin in the late stages. Dunn Listening rallied in the stretch to catch her rival and earned the fourth race victory by a head. She was guided to the narrow triumph by Angel Arroyo in a six furlong time of 1:12.73.
