Churchill: Lush Lips runs down Classic Q to win Mrs. Revere

Odds-on favorite Lush Lips tracked the pace and drew clear in the stretch to capture Friday's Grade 2, $300,000 Mrs. Revere Stakes at Churchill Downs.

Tyler Gaffalione rode the victory for trainer Brendan Walsh in the 1 1/16-mile turf race for 3-year-old fillies.

Classic Q (5-1), ridden by José Ortiz for trainer Mark Casse, established the early pace through fractions of 24.00 and 48.46 seconds. Lush Lips (1-2) tracked in second position up the backstretch as Classic Q led the field of 10 through three-quarters of a mile in 1:12.21.

Lush Lips surged past Classic Q on the turn and opened up through a mile in 1:35.51. Pretty Picture (7-1), trained by Chad Brown with Flavien Prat aboard, launched a rally from far back but could not catch the favorite. Classic Q held on for third.

Lush Lips completed the course in 1:41.75 and paid $3.14, $2.64 and $2.10. Pretty Picture returned $5.64 and $3.12 to place. Classic Q paid $2.68 to show.

The $2 exacta returned $17.90 and the 50-cent trifecta paid $15.98. The 10-cent superfecta was worth $10.98.

Bracelet, ridden by Irad Ortiz Jr. for Brad Cox, finished fourth. Caviar Breakfast, with Emmanuel Esquivel up for Kenny McPeek, rounded out the top five. Sea To Sky, In the Stars, J N J Heartandsoul, Table Flirt and Somethinabouther completed the order of finish. Fast Market and Princess Attitude were scratched.

A 3-year-old daughter of Ten Sovereigns bred in Great Britain by The Pocock Family, Lush Lips is owned by Dixiana Farms and was a $3.7 million purchase at the 2025 Keeneland November sale. She captured the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup (G1) at Keeneland in her previous start and improved her record to 11: 5-4-0.
