The $100,000 Alphabet Soup Handicap went to M-Z Racing Partnership’s Uncle Dave. The 5 year-old gelded son of Langfuhr was allowed to settle in on an easy lead and was just able to hold off the late charge of Beyond Smart to win by a head. Trained by Marcos Zulueta and ridden by Jorge Vargas, Jr., he went off as the second choice in the wagering at 2-1 and paid $6.00. The final time for the one mile and one-sixteenth over a firm turf course was 1:44.13.
