+VOTING CONTROL (c, 2, Kitten's Joy–Manda Bay, by Empire Maker) rallied from off a fast pace and closed relentlessly to graduate first out on the Belmont turf. Posting an above-average worktab, capped by a half-mile over the Saratoga main track in :48 3/5 (11/28) Sept. 5, the bay was given a 4-1 chance in this career bow and settled in seventh as a longshot ran away through sharp splits of :22.96 and :46.25. Race favorite Ambassador Jim (Treasure Beach {GB}) was the first to pounce on the pacesetter and kicked clear by the eighth pole, but Voting Control, after a four-wide advance on the turn, steadily reeled that foe in to get up by a half-length. The victor's second dam is MGSW Summer Wind Dancer (Siberian Summer). He has full-sisters of the past two seasons and his dam was bred to Creative Cause this spring.
