+AMBERSPATRIOT (f, 2, Awesome Patriot–Starkey, by Limehouse), hit late down to 2-1 off a solid-looking worktab while facing males here, was pushed along by Paco Lopez to sit in third as Wesley Ward-trained favorite Vital (Shanghai Bobby)–who was notably misbehaved in the paddock–dueled with second timer Baytown Lex (Girolamo). She squeezed through in between that pair as Vital bore out at the top of the stretch, and wore down Baytown Lex to prevail by 3/4 of a length. Chateau (Flat Out) settled for third after running into some traffic trouble in the lane. Vital was sixth. Amberspatriot is the first starter and winner for her freshman sire (by Awesome Again), who is a SW/GSP full-brother to GI Preakness S. winner Oxbow from the family of Tiznow.
