With a dramatic late rally, French invader Chinchon blew past the entire field to win the fifty-seventh running of the grade I $750,000 United Nations Handicap.
Under Garret Gomez, Chinchon sat last early on as Get Serious, Acclamation, and Straight Story set a solid pace. Acclamation folded as they turned for home, and Take the Points moved up to take the lead. But he was no match for Chinchon, who scored his first grade I victory.
The final time was 2:11 1/5. The win guarantees Chinchon a spot in the Breeders' Cup Turf at Churchill Downs later this year.
Take the Points finished second, just in front of Winchester, who also came with a late rally. Straight Story held fourth.
Acclamation tired badly to finish eighth, I believe.
