Any concerns about whether or not she was still Queen of the Hill were dispelled Friday as Nitrogen (Medaglia d'Oro) dominated the GI Ogden Phipps Stakes, earning a guaranteed berth into the GI Breeders' Cup Distaff while she was at it.The field broke evenly, but it was Nitrogen who hoofed it to the front heading into the bend, overhauling Fully Subscribed (Tiz the Law) on the rail as that one briefly tried to establish control. Posting an opening quarter in :23.74 and a half-mile in :47.26, Nitrogen was comfortably in command as Bless the Broken (Laoban) tried to keep her honest from the outside.After six panels in 1:10.48 and turning for home with a building advantage, last year's champion 3-year-old filly kicked away from her rivals while they tried to mount a response. Wandering a touch in midstretch, Jose Ortiz just had to keep her mind on moving forward and she hit the wire with air to spare. Fully Subscribed and Bless the Broken were declared a dead-heat for second while Regaled (Mohaymen) came on to claim fourth.The final time of 1:46.93 was just one-fifth off the track record at Saratoga.Trainer Mark Casse enjoyed a stellar afternoon with a victory earlier on the card with Counting Stars (Honor A.P.) in the GI Acorn Stakes. displays a tour de force like the Champion she is in the G1 Ogden Phipps with @jose93_ortiz up for Hall of Fame and '26 Acorn winning trainer Mark Casse. pic.twitter.com/6Y6hHqTrdD— TwinSpires Racing (@TwinSpires) June 5, 2026The post She’s In!
