Unusual Suspect wore down Temple City in the final stride to secure his first grade I win in the Hollywood Turf Cup Stakes.
Sitting third early under Corey Nakatani, Unusual Suspect recieved a perfect ride to reach contention as the field turned for home, just getting up to catch front-running Temple City to win by a head.
Temple City went to the lead from the start and set fairly slow fractions. He was tracked by Marlang and Unusual Suspect. Longshot Big Shot Syd was racing in third. The two favorites, Where's the Remote and Treat Gently, were right together sixth and seventh with Buenos Dias sitting last.
Where's the Remote dropped back around the far turn and finished last. Treat Gently made a good run entering the stretch but flattened out. In the end, it was Buenos Dias who rallied for third. Treat Gently held on for fourth.
The final time was 2:25 4/5.
