Top weighted horses won both the divisions of the Blue Bird Plate. King's Fortune won the higher division with a resolute performance, zipping past the early leader Fabolous Crown. Sixth Element finished third ahead of Danzsingh. L.D'Silva's Vinaleo missed the course record by 0.03 seconds in the lower division. Set on a start to finish bid in the five furlong race, Vinaleo managed to hold on to Habituated's spirited challenge. Habituated looked to be plodding when given a run along the rails but raised a good gallop once she was pulled out on the outside. Apprentice B.Mukesh waved his whip in the air in jubilation and that probably cost Vinaleo a place in the record book.
