Godolphin Stable's Zennor is an expectant entrant in the Bernard Baruch following his third straight win in Sunday's Fasig-Tipton Lure. The 5-year-old grey Medaglia d'Oro gelding picked up his third straight win - and fourth victory in his last five starts - while earning his first stakes victory.

Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin said the Lure came up better than anticipated and was impressed with the effort.

"It was supposed to be the next step, a beaten stake, but it seemed like it was an equivalent to a Grade 3 or even a 2," said McLaughlin. "We were very pleased with the way he ran and winning the race, obviously. [Jockey] Joe [Bravo] rode a great race. He thought there wasn't much pace so he put him forwardly placed instead of coming from the back, and it worked out great."
