An ugly duckling became the proverbial swan in Belmont Park's sea of slop
Friday as Alghuwayriyah Stable's ELDAAFER (A.P. Indy) rallied out in the middle
of the track to edge Nite Light (Thunder Gulch) on the line in the $198,500
Brooklyn
H. (G2). Claimed from Shadwell Stable for $20,000 a little more than four
months ago, the four-year-old gelding has amply rewarded that purchase by
winning three of five starts, and scored this initial stakes triumph in a time
of 2:31 2/5 for 1 1/2 miles. The 17-1 longshot returned $36.20, $12.80 and
$5.40.
