They were followed by Merlin, Big and Classy, Hope in Him and Laki Lio. Lightening Larry and Palimonium were scratched. Cajun’s Magic paid $15 to win. Following the race, trainer Michael Yates said he was not sur- prised by the close finish and revealed his prophetic conservation with Marilyn Campbell in early July after each had completed their first victories. “After they broke their maidens, Mrs. Campbell asked me which one I liked best,” Yates said. “I said, ‘Personally, at this point,’ I feel like we have the exacta. I don’t know which one’s the best.’ “It’s quite a thrill. [The Campbells] have been such a big part in the Florida breeding industry. To be a part of the team is an honor, for sure.” Both Cajun’s Magic and a Dean Delivers are by Cajun Breeze, who Yates trained and co-owned owned with Robert Eversole at the end of the stallion’s racing career. Cajun Breeze is now co- owned by the Campbells and has stood throughout his tenure as a stallion at their Stonehedge Farm South in Williston. “It’s pretty surreal. [Cajun Breeze] is throwing some nice horses. I think the best is yet to come from him,” Yates said. “His first cou- ple crops, he had some pretty small numbers from some pretty or- dinary mares. Mr. and Mrs. Campbell have bought half of him and have bred a decent number of mares to him. The proof’s in the pud- ding.” Cajun’s Magic has more Florida breeding on his bottom side as he is out of the Campbell’s homebred mare Mollie’s Magic, by Fac- tum and has produced two other horses of racing age.

BY NYRA PRESS OFFICE______In a hard-fought battle to the wire, Essential Quality, the 2-5 favorite, prevailed by a half-length over a tena- cious Keepmeinmind to win Saturday’s nine-furlong Grade 2, $600,000 Jim Dandy for 3-year-olds at Saratoga Race Course. The Godolphin homebred’s victory in the 58th run- ning of the Jim Dandy stamped him as the favorite for Saratoga’s signature race, the Grade 1, $1.25 million Runhappy Travers on August 28. In June, the handsome gray son of Tapit was the decisive winner of the Bel- mont Stakes presented by NYRA Bets. Essential Quality, who has been piloted by Luis Saez in seven of his eight career starts, defeated four rivals after the scratch of Risk Taking. Dr Jack broke sharp from his rail post and was fol- lowed by Masqueparade, Weyburn, and Keepmein- mind. Saez had Essential Quality in the clear on the outside in fifth, not far off the leaders. Following sharp fractions of :23.81, :47.41 and 1:11.13 on the fast main track, the pacesetter was retreating while Masquepa- rade and Weyburn were taking up prominent positions as the field turned for home. But Essential Quality, with a sweeping outside Essential Quality/SUSIE RAISHER PHOTO move, bore down on those rivals, while Keepmeinmind, whose sire Laoban won the 2016 Jim Dandy, was snaking his way Keepmeinmind, and was followed under the wire by Weyburn and up on the rail.

The son of Kentucky sire Violence gave his jockey and trainer a unique double in the $301,500, six-furlong dash – back-to-back scores in the shore track’s premier race for sprinters with 3-year-olds, something that’s never happened before. The final time in the dash was 1:10.47. Flavien Prat, Del Mar’s leading rider, was aboard the colt for his fourth victory of the day. He now has 17 wins in the first nine days of racing and also a remarkable streak in the Crosby: he’s won six of the last seven run- nings of the race. Mark Glatt is the trainer of Dr. Schivel and he also was the conditioner of last year’s winner, the then 3-year-old Collusion Illusion. Finishing second in the Crosby was Coolmore Stud, Madaket Stables or Starlight Racing, et al’s Eight Rings, while running third was the 3-2 race favorite, Madaket Stables, Barber or Kagele’s C Z Rocket.
