+UTMOST (c, 2, Giant's Causeway–Fugitive Angel {GSW-US, $382,661}, by Alphabet Soup), sent off the 11-4 joint favourite, settled in mid-division throughout the early stages. Tackling Cape Byron (GB) (Shamardal) towards the stand's side passing the quarter pole, the homebred edged ahead a furlong later and was ultimately comfortably on top from that rival at the line to win by a length. Utmost is the first foal out of the GIII Pin Oak Valley View S. winner Fugitive Angel, a half-sister to the GII Robert B. Lewis S. scorer Anthony's Cross (Indian Charlie) who also captured four other stakes races and was third in the GII Mrs. Revere S. The third dam, the GIII Sands Point S. winner Recording (Danzig), is responsible for five stakes performers headed by the GII Mervin H. Muniz Jr. Memorial H. and GIII Fair Grounds H.-winning sire Smart Bid. The dam has a yearling full-sister to the winner and a colt foal by Nathaniel (Ire) to follow. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $7,997.
