MANSON (GB) (c, 2, Equiano {Fr}–Swain's Gold, by Swain {Ire}), a last-out sixth at Ascot Sept. 5, broke well from a wide gate and assumed control after the opening strides of this one. Nudged along when threatened with 2 1/2 furlongs remaining, the 11-10 pick kept on resolutely under a final-furlong drive to hold the persistent War Story (Ire) (Myboycharlie {Ire}) by a half length. The winner is kin to this term's G1 Irish Derby victor Jack Hobbs (GB) (Halling), G1SW-Ire, GSW & MG1SP-Eng, $1,662,339; and Niceofyoutotellme (GB) (Hernando {Fr}), GSP-Eng, $140,172.
