STREET GAME WINS THE HILL PRINCE!

Street Game went straight to the lead, set an easy pace, and kicked clear to win the $100,000 Hill Prince Stakes (gr. III) at Belmont Park this afternoon after five or six lengths.

Under Ryan Curatolo, the colt sped away to an easy early lead through moderate fractions. Humble and Hungry tracked him in second, followed by Longhunter along the rail. Favored Air Support was back next to last early on.

The opening fractions were :24.56 and :48.92. Entering the homestretch, Longhunter made a bid along the rail to challenge for the lead, but Street Game turned him back easily to win the race under a hand ride. Air Support rallied belatedly for second, followed by Humble and Hungry and Longhunter. The final time was 1:36.38.
