+SHAKEN NOT STIRRED (c, 3, Eskendereya–Ms North Carolina, by Honour and Glory) lit up the tote with a come-from-behind debut victory in the seventh at Belmont Park Sunday. Positioned in midpack well off the rail through a :24.32 first quarter, the 22-1 longshot remained eager as noses pointed for home after a half in :47.93. Asked by Jose Lezcano on the far turn, he picked off rivals and drew within hailing distance of the leading trio. Still with several rivals to pass inside the final 50 yards, the bay produced a swift turn of foot and delivered on the line, snatching victory from 3-2 chalk Captain Tip (Candy Ride {Arg}) by a neck. Street Jersey (Street Cry {Ire}) was only a head behind in third. The winner is a half to Off Duty (Yes It'sTrue), GSW, $402,408. Ms North Carolina has a yearling Maclean's Music filly, a weanling colt by Eskendereya and was bred back to Shanghai Bobby this spring. Sales history: $200,000 Ylg '13 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $45,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
