+ALWAYS THINKING (f, 2, Street Sense–Que Piensa Cat {Arg} {G1SW-Arg}, by Easing Along), a 19-1 outsider in this career opener, was unhurried out of the gate and settled near the back of the field while racing three wide as fellow-firster Pretty Philly (Unbridled's Song) set fractions of :22.19 and :45.28. Still second to last as the field turned for home, Always Thinking rallied some six wide at the top of the lane and closed relentlessly to win going away by 1 1/2 lengths over 21-1 longshot Majestic Maiara (Majestic Warrior). Karma (Congrats), at 50-1, ran third, triggering a $5,446 trifecta. Que Piensa Cat, a Group 1 winner in her native Argentina, sold in foal to Elusive Quality for $47,000 at last year's Keeneland November sale. She produced a filly by that stallion this year.
