+DADDY'S HOME (c, 3, The Factor–Happenstance, by Hap), overlooked at 8-1 in this career bow, tracked from a close-up fifth, running in the two path off early splits of :24.74 and :48.69. The bay was blocked in by rivals on all sides on the backstretch run, but the seas parted in early stretch and he edged ahead just in time for a neck success over favored Brooklyn Bobby (Frankel). The winner's dam, a half-sister to GI Woodbine Mile winner Turallure (Wekiva), has a yearling filly by Data Link and was bred back to that sire.
