Flintshire, an overwhelming 1-5 favorite, justified his billing. He made an explosive move along the rail after being prompted by Javier Castellano to turn back Money Multiplier, a stablemate in trainer Chad Brown’s powerhouse barn, by 1 3/4 lengths. His time of 2:23.45 narrowly missed the track record of 2:23.20 for the mile and a half. Flintshire, a 6-year-old Dansili colt, also won the Sword Dancer last year. He earned a guaranteed starting spot in the Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf via the “Win and You’re In” Challenge Series.
