Getting a good break under jockey Russell Baze, the seven-year-old veteran dropped three lengths behind With Distinction (Storm Cat), who battled with 5-2 favorite Battle Won (Honour and Glory) through splits of :22 2/5 and :45 1/5. Trickey Trevor raced three wide around the turn and retook the lead in upper stretch before gaining a 1 1/2-length margin going six furlongs in 1:09 1/5. He had opened up to three lengths by the time he crossed under the wire, going seven furlongs over a fast track in 1:21 3/5.

"His last two races -- mile and one eighths -- he just didn't relax at all," Baze said. "But today he came out of there like a shot and then those other two (With Distinction and Battle Won) got to rushing up there and I took a hold and he relaxed. This is my first win ever at Churchill and it sure feels good."

Sent off at 9-1, the Hollendorfer trainee retrieved $21, $9.40 and $7.20 while keying exotics of $192.60 (exacta), $1,928.80 (trifecta) and $10,850.40 for the 10-9-11-2 superfecta. With Distinction turned in a one-paced performance, able to hold on for second at 7-1 and giving back $9 and $7.20 to the public while Level Playingfield (Level Sands) rallied nicely to pick up the bronze position and pay $8.60 at 17-1. Saintly Look (Saint Ballado) completed the superfecta and was followed by Battle Won, Dreamsandvisions (Kipling), Thunder Mission (Pulpit), Bucharest (Victory Gallop), Wild Tale (Tale of the Cat) and Charging Indian (Indian Charlie). Vicarage (Vicar) was scratched from the race.
