Maryland shipper Caribou Club, who had a lovely ground-saving trip, notched his first graded stakes in the G2 Connaught Cup, over a wide/closing Tower of Texas, who was arguaby best. The disappointment in the seven-furlong turf sprint was 2-1 second choice Forge, who faded to fifth after a stalking trip.
Gary Boulanger bagged a triple on Caribou Club, the 2yo maiden breaker Subsidiary, and 10th race winner Giovanna Ponti.
There were dead heats for second and fifth in the nightcap, which led to an array of payoffs.
Elusive Mischief was a five-length winner of a first-level allowance sprint for 3yos, leaving the talented Ellas My Love in his wake in second.
The handle was nearly $4.8 million.
