44-1 longest shot Saint Daimon tucked in behind the early leaders in fourth early under jockey Jean-Luc Samyn, then came out four wide to pass the tiring pacesetters, inheriting the lead in mid-stretch but yielding late to finish third beaten just 3/4 length. The Steven Jerkens trainee improved his record to 5 wins, 2 seconds, and 6 third in 25 starts, earning $276,335 for owner-breeder Hobeau Farm.
