Settling just off the flank of pacesetting Eaton’s Gift, Kinsale King struck the lead with two furlongs to run and dug in gamely to hold off Ventana and the top-weighted Dancing In Silks.  The final time of 1:08.81 was incredibly fast over the Santa Anita Pro-Ride, which hadn’t been used for a week following torrential California rains.  Martin Garcia had the winning ride.
