—Feb 17— Berned went by Divine Miss Grey and Moiety midway through the race, then held off a strong late rally by the former to win the Grade II Barbara Fritchie Stakes by a length. The third choice in the betting, Berned paid $12.00 to win.
Divine Miss Grey, ridden by Kendrick Carmouche, broke on top then settled in a line with Ms Locust Point and Moiety. Carmouche and Divine Miss Grey appeared content to bide their time until just past the halfway mark, when Berned sprinted clear and appeared enroute to an easy win. Urged on by Carmouche, Divine Miss Grey unleashed a furious rally but fell short.
Moiety hung on to be third, followed by Ms Locus Point.
It was another four-and-a-half lengths back to Highway Star and Bishop’s Pond, who brought up the rear.
