TELEPORT (IRE) (c, 2, Lope de Vega {Ire}–Gravitee {Fr}, by Galileo {Ire}), who was part of an uncoupled entry from the barn Todd Pletcher, was elevated to the top spot after the stewards said that Scope (Gun Runner) fouled his stablemate in the stretch. After three scratches earlier in the day and one at the gate, the debuting Teleport–an 'Insight' runner–went off as the 3-2 race favorite. Controlling the tempo throughout, the chestnut colt was looking to close out a gate to wire performance when Scope caught him inside the final eighth of a mile. With John Velazquez aboard, Scope bumped his shedrow rival and went on to win the race. However, after an objection by Teleport's rider Irad Ortiz Jr. the stewards took down Scope and placed him second. Teleport was then declared the winner. The last registered foal of record for his dam, the winner is a half-brother to Juwelier (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), GSW-Ger, GISP-USA, $207,904. Teleport's dam is a full-sister to current sire Intello (Ger) (by Galileo {Ire}). Sales History: 300,000gns Ylg '24 TATOCT. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $55,000.
