Gonnawishonastar threw down a swift 1:24.4 three-quarters, but couldn’t withstand the inside charge of Chef Lee and Brady Brown, who triumphed in 1:54.1. Gonnawishonastar saved second, three-quarters of a length back, with Wilberforce third.

Norm Parker trains and owns Chef Lee, a 9-year-old Cantab Hall-Summer Savory gelding who extended his lifetime bankroll to $439,135. It was Brown’s fifth win over the last two programs.

Aaron Merriman collected four wins on the 13-race card while Brown has bagged six over the last two programs.
