2nd-Santa Anita, $64,562, Msw, 5-21, 2yo, f, 4 1/2f, :53.12, ft, 5 1/2 lengths.
ROYAL O'HAIGAIN (f, 2, El Deal–Dreaming of Susie {GSP}, by Cowtown Cat) posted a blazing :34 flat bullet (1/33) at Santa Anita May 17, prompting her to be backed down to 4-5 favoritism for this unveiling. Quickly to the front, the Louisiana-bred was given the go-ahead after Alexis Centeno took a quick peek under his right arm nearing the quarter pole and spurted clear turning for home. Moving with purpose from there, the bay crossed the wire a geared-down 5 1/2-length winner over Harddiane (Hard Spun). With the victory, Royal O'Haigain gave her sire GI Alfred G. Vanderbilt H. winner El Deal (by Munnings) his first career winner. Sales history: $14,000 Ylg '20 FTKFEB; $35,000 Ylg '20 FTKOCT; $47,000 RNA 2yo '21 OBSMAR. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $36,600.

First Winner For El Kabeir as Son Don Chicco Graduates in Rome

1ST-CAPANNELLE, €13,200, Mdn., 5-9, 2yo, 1200m (AWT), 1:13.50.
DON CHICCO (GB) (128, c, 2, El Kabeir-Otrooha (Ire), by Oasis Dream {GB}), a distant second locally going 1000 metres over soft ground when unveiled on May 1, was tabbed the even-money pick in this quick return. Trying the all-weather surface for the first time, the bay battled with a rival for the advantage from the bell and sat a neck second on the far turn. He re-bid for the lead in upper stretch and forged clear to win by three lengths over Il Grande Gatsby (Ire) (Churchill). The winner is the first for his Yeomanstown Stud-based first-season sire. The son of Scat Daddy scored at the graded level at both two and three, taking the 2014 GII Kentucky Jockey Club S. as a juvenile, and adding the GIII Gotham S. and GIII Jerome S. as a sophomore. He also ran third in the 2015 GI Wood Memorial S. Don Chicco's dam was unraced, but he is the second winner from three to race for her. Otrooha's latest produce is a Massaat (Ire) yearling filly. Second dam Mumayeza (GB) (Indian Ridge {Ire}) is a half-sister to G2 Hardwicke S. hero Maraahel (Ire) (Alzao). Sales history: 10,000gns RNA Wlg '19 TATNOV; £8,500 Ylg '20 GOFSEP.

WITSEL (c, 2, Nyquist–Bailzee {SP, $152,580}, by Grand Slam), sent off at 5-1 to become the 16th career winner for his GI Kentucky Derby-winning sire (by Uncle Mo), showed good early foot to settle just behind pace setter Thrown For A Loupe (Gemologist), who showed the way through a :22.62 quarter. Scraping the paint while 8-5 choice Equuleus (Maclean’s Music) loomed three wide as the leading charged for the quarter-mile pole, Witzel gained the advantage turning for home, drew off with ease, scoring by 13 1/4-widening lengths over Thrown For A Loupe with Equuleus third. The winner’s stakes-placed dam, Bailzee, produced a Practical Joke colt last season followed by a colt by Cairo Prince this term. Sales history: $72,000 RNA Ylg ’19 KEESEP.

8th-Belmont, $63,000, Msw, 10-16, 2yo, 1 1/16m, 1:43.43, sy, 8 lengths.
TEN FOR TEN (c, 2, Frosted–Summer Vacation, by Eskendereya) kicked off his career with a second-place effort sprinting six panels at Saratoga Sept. 7 and was backed down to slight 2-1 favoritism while getting blinkers in his route debut. Hustled to the front by Jose Ortiz straight off the blocks, the $410,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase repelled a bid from 2-1 chance Savoy (Honor Code) approaching the quarter pole and spurted clear through the lane, scoring by an impressive eight-length margin over Officiating (Blame). Constitutional Law (Tapit), a full-brother to Grade I-winning Constitution, was edged for third after some trouble at the start. Out of Grade I-winning Dream of Summer (Siberian Summer), Summer Vacation, a half-sister to Grade I stakes scorers Creative Cause (Giant’s Causeway) and Vexatious (Giant’s Causeway) as well as GSW and Classic-placed Destin (Giant’s Causeway), is also responsible for a yearling colt by Candy Ride (Arg) and a filly foal by Kitten’s Joy. Ten For Ten is the eighth winner for his freshman sire (by Tapit). Sales history: $410,000 Ylg ’19 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, $49,050.
