GEORGE PATTON (c, 2, War Front–Photograph, by Unbridled’s Song), who was a debut winner going 6 1/2 furlongs on the artificial surface here last time June 26, was steadied in a handy fifth after the initial exchanges of this return. Inching into third off the home turn, the 11-10 chalk made his bid passing the eighth pole and was pushed out to assert by 1 1/2 lengths from Robin of Navan (Fr) (American Post {GB}). The homebred grey is a full-brother to this term’s G1 Prix du Jockey Club third War Dispatch, GSW & G1SP-Fr, $343,617. Lifetime Record: 2 starts, 2 wins, €29,500. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
