KINGSTON, Jamaica - Tocatbetheglory, after an encouraging second-place finish on last going 6½ furlongs (1,300m), returned to beat rivals in a native-bred five-year-old and upwards (non-winners of three) and imported five-year-olds and upwards (non-winners of two) travelling 7 furlongs (1,400m).
Owned, and trained by Carl Anderson, Tocatbetheglory (Reyan Lewis) settled in fourth position down the backstretch behind Big Argument (Paul Francis), Traditional Boy (Dane Dawkins), and Six Avenue (Roger Hewitt). Lewis sent Tocatbetheglory in chase of Big Argument navigating the half-mile (800m), with Traditional Boy and Six Avenue losing ground on the front two.
Tocatbetheglory turned for home in second place, and although he was impeded by Morse Code, who was running loosely without his rider Anthony Allen, he found extra in the final stages of the race to win, going away by 3 lengths.
Pro Johnny (Oneil Mullings) finished second, and Maya (Anthony Thomas) finished third in a final time of 1:30.3 (24.1 x 48.0 x 1:14.4).
