POSITION LIMIT (f, 2, Bellamy Road–Payable On Demand, by Out of Place), a $55,000 FTKJUL yearling, was sent off at 4-1 in her unveiling. The dark bay filly was ridden out of the gate to take up a stalking position as Evangelical (Speightstown) led the field through fractions of :22.25 and :45.93. Position Limit inhaled the pacesetter into the stretch and splashed clear to an authoritative 6 3/4-length victory. Evangelical held second and Backslash (Sharp Humor) was third. Nicky=s Way (First Samurai) was fifth.

Position Limit is the second winner for her freshman sire (by Concerto). Winner of the 2005 GI Wood Memorial, Bellamy Road was campaigned by the Kinsman Stable of George Steinbrenner, who passed away Tuesday. AWe were very pleased with the way she had trained,” Todd Pletcher said of the winner. “She was a first-time starter who we thought would want a little more distance, and we caught an off racetrack. You=re always concerned with how they are going to handle that, but she had trained like she was capable of winning first out. I think if she comes out of it well, a race like the [Aug. 15 GIII] Adirondack [at Saratoga Race Course] could be on our radar screen.” Click for the brisnet.com chart.
