Stars and Strides, a first-time starter tackling several more experienced rivals here, went off at 8-1 and opted to rate mid pack as longshot Henry’s Hope set a contested tempo with 3-5 race favorite Mainstream sitting second.

Beginning to pick up the bridle midway around the turn, Stars and Strides dove inside at the quarter pole under Junior Alvarado to engage Mainstream who took over the front momentarily. The pair dueled into the final furlong with Stars and Strides gutsy even in a tight spot against the fence and the race favorite refusing to yield outside even as contact was made close to the wire.

The 3-year-old son of American Pharoah gamely prevailed under a strong hand-ride. Stars and Strides was the winner by a head with a further 6 1/2 lengths back to third place
