Frivolette paid $5.90 to win and along with Lucky Day, who was placed second, set up a $23.90 exactor payoff. Baffin was moved from fourth to third. The triactor returned $42.90.

It was the third win in five starts at Fort Erie for the Kentucky bred mare who has recorded 8 wins in 42 lifetime starts.
