A Lot wins Belmont’s Elusive Quality; sets course record (The Associated Press)
A Lot beat Green Mask by a nose in a battle of closers Saturday to set the course record in the $100,000 Elusive Quality Stakes on the turf at Belmont Park. A Lot rallied from seventh to grab the lead at the top the stretch and withstood the challenge from Green Mask, the trailer for much of the race in the nine-horse field. It was the fourth win in 14 starts for the 4-year-old trained by Chad Brown and ridden by Irad Ortiz Jr.
