Multiplier Wins Illinois Derby at Hawthorne Racecourse
Hawthorne Racecourse in Cicero, Illinois was the scene of the $250,000 G3 Illinois Derby on Saturday, April 22 - a 1 1/8 mile dirt test for three year olds. American Equistock's 4-1 second betting choice Multiplier proved to be best on the day, emerging by just a head over 9-5 favorite Hedge Fund who settled for a slightly disappointing second. It's Your Nickel got in for an OK third at 7-1 odds in the field of seven with Stand and Cheer another 4 3/4 lengths back and Hollywood Handsome, St. Louie Guy, and, Mr. Misunderstood completing the order of finish.
