Informed Decision scores in Chicago

Augustin Stable's INFORMED DECISION (Monarchos) took the lead out of the gate of Saturday's $140,000 Chicago Hcp (G3), withstood the continued pressure of Authenicat (D'wildcat) to her outside, then kicked it into gear in the stretch run and pulled off to post a 4 3/4-length decision under jockey Julien Leparoux. The Jonathan Sheppard-trained four-year-old, who earned her fifth straight victory in this spot, completed the seven-furlong Arlington Park feature in 1:21 2/5 over the Polytrack.
