Remember this was the big race at the time. They all showed up and Closed Hatches beat them both on the square.

It took an EPIC hang job from Princess of Sylmar to get it done. Horse looked 1/9 to blow right on by Close Hatches mid-stretch and hung like a chandelier.

Princess of Sylmar retired about 2 weeks later. In fact, Close Hatches might have busted in that race, too, given her 2 subsequent (and final) performances.

But Beholder kept going...
