MEMORABLE (c, 2, Uncle Mo–Unforgettable, by Empire Maker) pressed from a close-up second early, before taking control as the first quarter went up in :22.32. Showing the way through a half in :46.09, he was challenged by Enforceable (Tapit) in the lane, but turned back that rival and splashed clear to score by 1 1/4 lengths. Favored Lady Delaware (American Pharoah) finished sixth. Subsequent to the winner, Unforgettable produced a pair of colts, the first by Quality Road followed by another by Twirling Candy. The 14-year-old mare is a half to several stakes horses, including graded winners Good Mood (Devil's Bag), Academy Award (Secretariat), and Statuette (Pancho Villa), herself the dam of Irish Highweight juvenile colt Tomahawk (Seattle Slew).
