Under jockey Flavien Prat, who won his fourth straight Bing Crosby, the Phil D’Amato-trained son of Malibu Moon surged to the wire to win by 2 1/4 lengths in a final time of 1:10.08 for six furlongs.
“This horse beat this field on the square,” D’Amato said. “Roy H is a great horse—hat’s off to him—but my horse, since I gave him a freshening a while back, he has kind of become the horse of old.”
