The 8-year-old Cleangame is maybe the world’s best gelding at present and had a very easy task winning this Group 2 race over 1-3/4 miles and with a purse for the winner of $58,500.

Bazire never had to push the button to win by open lengths in 1:59.4 (mile rate) followed two lengths behind by Feliciano, driven by David Thomain and Tony Gio with Eric Raffin.
