BRASS HAT WINS THE SYCAMORE!

Nine year old Brass Hat came charging on the far outside late to score a one length victory in the Sycamore Stakes.

Ridden by Calvin Borel, it was the gelding's first win since the 2009 Louisville Handicap (gr. III).

Sent off at 9-2, Brass Hat sat about mid-pack, well off of the pace set by front running Presious Passion.

Favored Musketier took a narrow lead as the field turned into the homestretch, but Presious Passion refuse to give up easily, battling strongly along the inside. 54-1 shot Southern Anthem was coming with a late run, but it was Brass Hat who got home first.

The final time was 2:30 3/5. Southern Anthem finished second, Musketier third. Tajaaweed finished fourth, and I believe Presious Passion stayed on well enough to grab fifth.

Thanks to Southern Anthem, the $1 trifecta paid $801.70.
