Despite steadying down around the turn and sitting last for a while, Trappe Shot proved that he can go two turns by winning the grade III Long Branch Stakes at Monmouth Park.
Ridden patiently by Alan Garcia, Trappe Shot steadied on the first turn when Southern Ridge drifted out a bit. However, it did not affect the outcome of the race, as Trappe Shot squeezed through on the rail and then turned back the bid of longshot Nacho Friend to win the race.
The final time was 1:43 2/5. Southern Ridge finished third, while Latigo Shore finished last.
The Haskell is a possibility for the winner.
