Ridden patiently by Cornelio Velasquez, Winchester made a strong move in late stretch to nab favored Paddy O'Prado to win the $500,000 Joe Hirsch Turf Invitational Classic.
Paddy O'Prado made a very wide and very bold move on the far turn to take the lead, but was unable to withstand the winner's late charge.
Longshot Grassy finished third, followed by the mare Treat Gently. Pacesetter Interpatation, who won this race last year, set the pace and gave way in the stretch.
The final time was 2:36 flat.
