After the good break Dagger and Micksappealinglady led the field through the opening half-mile in 46.98 as Ask The Moon tracked the leaders in striking distance in third.  Through the far turn Ask The Moon put a head in front at the quarter pole getting three-quarters in 1:12.06 as Dagger and Nicksappealinglady were digging in as the field entered the stretch.  In the lane Saki To Me, after rallying four wide, moved to the lead and opened up a two length lead on the field as Dagger was still moving well but was starting to weaken late while Forest Trail was closing on the leaders late.  At the wire Saki To Me held off the quick close of Forest Trail to win The Little Silver Stakes by a half-length in final time of 1:38.72.  Forest Trail closed well to get second as Dagger, after chasing the early lead was third.  Saki To Me is a three-year-old dark bay/brown filly owned by Morris Bailey, trained by Stanley Hough and was ridden by Pablo Fragoso.
