The 21-1 longest shot on the board, making his stakes debut after breaking his maiden last time out, set the pace for the first 5 furlongs under regular rider Channing Hill, weakening under pressure late to hold third, beaten 4 lengths. The Michael Hushion trainee improved his record to 1 win, 2 seconds, and 1 third in 5 starts, earning $74,580 for owner Barry K. Schwartz.
