Breaking sharply at 6-1, the bay tracked a close-up second through a quarter in :22.51. Going on with it past a :45.83 half, Gormley drew away in the lane and scored by 4 1/4 lengths under wraps. Red Kite (Harlan's Holiday) was second-best. The winner has a yearling half-brother by Smart Strike and a half-brother by Gio Ponti foaled this term. She was bred back to Justin Phillip this year.
