Mypunter.Com Eclipse Stakes (G3)
Zabisco was eased from his good barrier (3) was near last early but soon got through to settle in a nice spot, eighth on the rails. He continued to improve along the rails from the home turn, getting to fourth at the 200m He then ran on well to grab a last-stride win in a photo, putting up a good effort after enjoying an ideal trip. Pheidon came across from his wide barrier (11) to settle outside the leader. He took the lead nearing the home turn, kicked clear at the 300m and was only overhauled close to the post for a very good second. Extra Zero was back in second last place in the 11-horse field to the home turn, eased wide at the 400m and then ran on well for a close third. Rhythm To Spare was a handy third most of the way before challenging at the 300m. He then kept fighting on quite well for fourth (1.2 lengths) after having every chance. Escado was eased from his outside barrier (12), raced in last place to the home turn and then ran on for a late-closing fifth (2 lengths), being disadvantaged by the moderate early tempo (first 1200m 1:14.97).
