In to challenge her included 11-10 second choice Mean Mary, winner of the Gallorette (G3) and New York Stakes (G2), and 11-2 third choice Lemista, 8th in the Diana (G1) after finishing a close second in the Beaugay (G3).

Left: Santa Barbara heads to the winner's circle. Winning jockey Ryan Moore said, "She was always a filly I had a high opinion of. She was very comfortable. Very straightforward today. She took me there too easy, really. She was just coasting the last furlong."

Right: Santa Barbara heads out for the post parade. Trainer Aidan O'Brien said earlier in the week that she will run in the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf at Del Mar.
Left: Second place finisher Mean Mary heads out to the track before the race. Trainer Graham Motion said, "she hit the gate pretty hard, and it took a little of the sting out of her. It's not her being bad. She just anticipates the gate. She really banged it, and that just takes some of the wind out of her sails. But that's her game – she jumps the gate. Very frustrating."
Right: Third place finisher Lemista gets frisky in the walking ring. Jockey Flavien Prat said, "I was traveling super and was in a good position. When they picked it up [around the far turn] she asked me to get a breather, I think, and just couldn't really keep up with them. But she regrouped and finished well."
The entire field pass the stands first time by with Mean Mary in the lead and Santa Barbara mid-pack.
The first of the four graded stakes on the card was the $100,000 Pucker Up Stakes (G3) for three-year-old fillies going 1 1/8 miles on the inner turf. Boiling Springs Stakes winner Shantisara was sent off as the 9-5 favorite in the field of 7 over 2-1 second choice Oyster Box, 4th in the Regret (G3), and 5-2 third choice Flown, third in the Regret before finishing a close second in the Hatoof Stakes.
Jockey James Graham sent 21-1 Spritz to the lead first time by through fractions of 24.83, 49.52, and 1:13.43 while pressed by Oyster Box and stalked by 47-1 Time for Glory and 17-2 Shesa Mystery. Turning for home Shantisara, 5th early, came through between horses to gain the lead through 1 mile in 1:40.89.
