EMERGENCE (c, 3, Uncle Mo–Belle Watling, by Pulpit), let go at 7-1, was shuffled back in traffic into the first turn and settled near the back of the pack down the backstretch. The dark bay colt began inching closer nearing the far turn, rolled up three wide into the stretch and bound to the lead before drawing clear to graduate by 3 1/4 lengths. Daham (American Pharoah) was second. Emergence, a $475,000 KEESEP yearling, is a half-brother to Land Over Sea (Bellamy Road), GSW & MGISP, $746,500; and to War Story (Northern Afleet), MGSW & GISP, $3,271,996. The winner is the last foal out of Belle Watling, who died in 2023. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $42,000.
