“It was a very good trip,” said Rispoli. “I sat behind the speed. Last time I have to say it was my fault, I didn't give him a chance to get his legs under him. Today he was a different horse. He dragged me up there, I found the gap at the top of the stretch and he did the rest. He is a very good horse today, acting more professionally.”

One of six stakes winner for Lord Nelson, Lord Bullingdon has a yearling Accelerate half-sister and a weanling Tonalist half-brother still to race. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.

“I had Nagirroc to my outside and obviously he was the horse to beat,” said winning jockey Umberto Rispoli. “I was praying that Mike Smith (aboard First Peace) would go a little bit ahead of me at the quarter pole, which would give me a chance to find room between them. The horse helped me. I had a ton of horse underneath and when you have gas, you can go wherever you want. I think he won easily today.”

The second black-type winner for his freshman sire (by Scat Daddy), Classical Cat hails back to dual Eclipse champion and perennial leading sire Curlin (Smart Strike). Conquest Strate Up produced a yearling filly, H M Legacy (Hard Spun), and a weanling colt by Tiz the Law before going back to Tiz the Law for a 2023 foal.
