The 9-1 fifth choice settled back in fifth out in the 2-path down the backstretch under new jockey Eurico Rosa Da Silva, came out four wide into the lane and was all-out through the stretch to pass tiring runners, nosing out Rahy's Attorney late to get third place money, beaten 3 1/4 lengths. The Mark Frostad trainee improved his record to 3 wins, 5 seconds, and 10 thirds in 28 starts, earning $607,425 for owner-breeder Sam Son Farms. The son of Broad Brush is winless since the Col. E.R. Bradley Handicap at the Fair Grounds in January.
