He began inching away without being asked after a half in :46.75 and skipped clear down the lane before finishing geared down and 5 1/2 lengths in front. Let My People Go (Pioneerof the Nile) was second. Dancing House, winner of the GII Barbara Fritchie S. and third in the GI Spinaway S., died in 2019.
