Meet the biological passport, and Travis Tygart, the man who has successfully routed out two of sports' most defiant cheats, Lance Armstrong and Marion Jones, neither of whom had ever tested positive.

[6f (AW)]

Winner: George Vancouver, c, 2 by Henrythenavigator

Dundalk, 13.25, Mdn, €10,500, 2yo, 6f (AWT), 1:11.66, stn.
GEORGE VANCOUVER (c, 2, Henrythenavigator-- Versailles Treaty {MGISW, $1,271,154}, by Danzig), a $450,000 KEENOV weanling, was fourth in a soft-ground Curragh maiden last time June 30 and stalked the pace in second after a quick getaway. Moving smoothly to the front at the furlong marker, the 11-8 chalk quickened clear to win by 3 1/4 lengths from Lottie Dod (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}). Mohawk Lane (Henrythenavigator), the three-parts brother to Rule of Law (Kingmambo), was disappointing and finished an eased-down last. Jockey Joseph O'Brien said, "He couldn't pick up in the ground last time, but really quickened well today and sprinted to the line. He's always shown speed and I think he'll step up to listed- or group-class now." George Vancouver, who becomes the fourth winner for his freshman sire (by Kingmambo), is a half to Saarland (Unbridled), GSW & GISP, $595,250. Lifetime Record: 3-1-0-0, €8,070.
