2011 Ticonderoga Stakes [05:11]
In this day and age, a trainer running a horse back in 12 days is often viewed with a raised eyebrow. As a disciple of the Hall of Fame trainer Woody Stephens, trainer David Donk says it's simply old school. Running back 12 days after finishing second in the Pebbles Stakes against open company, the 3-year-old filly Hessonite took her elder New York-bred females to school in the $125000 Ticonderoga Stakes, rallying five wide in the stretch to win by 1 1/4 lengths. Gitchee Goomie, a multiple stakes winning 4-year-old, finished second.

Elusive Pearl - 2011 Pebbles S. [01:59]
Able to dictate a slow tempo, Elusive Pearl proved impossible to catch on Monday at Belmont Park in the $100000 Pebbles for 3-year-old fillies. After grabbing the lead as the field exited the one-mile chute on the Widener turf course, Elusive Pearl received token pressure from Divalarious through soft fractions of 24.88 and 50.44. The favorite was kept under a hold entering the stretch and was hand-ridden as she opened on her rivals, with runner-up Hessonite closing down the center of the track to finish 2 ¼ lengths behind the winner. The final time for one-mile over firm turf was 1:36.61. Elusive Pearl, returned $6.10 for a $2 win wager.
