Trainer Eddie Graham, who operates a small stable out of southeastern Pa., must love coming to Arlington. He won the Arlington Million in 2014 with Hardest Core, and he just won the G3 American St. Leger in his only other career start here when POSTULATION outran the favored Mike Maker duo of TAGHLEEB and KEYSTONEFORVICTORY in the 1 11/16-mile turf race. The top-four order was 7-2-1-5.
Postulation, like Hardest Core three years ago, shipped in off a victory in the Cape Henlopen at Delaware Park.
Postulation, a 5yo Ky-bred gelding by Harlan's Holiday, returned $12.20.
An inquiry regarding an incident during the second time down the backstretch resulted in no change in the official order.
The St. Leger began a pick-4 (races 9-12) that drew $728,978 in all-sources handle.
Next up is the G1 Beverly D., with post time set for 5:48 Central.
