Antonino Miuccio’s Palace was off half a beat slowly in Saratoga’s $350, 000 Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap (G1) on Saturday, but chased favored frontrunning Happy My Way the whole way before running past him in the final strides and scoring by a length. Fellow OBS graduate Falling Sky (January ’13) checked in third. The latest OBS millionaire, the 5-year-old son of City Zip is now 20-10-5-2 and has earned $1,009,550.

Bourbon Lane Stable’s Hashtag Bourbon was a maiden going into Saturday’s $100,000 Mountaineer Juvenile Stakes but came back a stakes winner, charging from behind on the turn, taking command in the lane and pulling away to a 4-1/2 length victory over fellow OBS graduate Gotta Get Paid (August ’13). After a first and a third from two starts, the 2-year-old colt by Super Saver has earned $66,000 to date. He was sold by Secure Investments, Agent for $130,000 to McMahon and Hill Bloodstock, Agent, at the 2014 OBS March Sale after breezing an eighth in :10 2/5 at the Under Tack Show. watch his under tack video
