Get Stormy dictated the pace and was never seriously threatened in a 2-3/4 length tally in the Grade 1 Maker's Mark Mile at Keeneland on Friday.

Rainy weather produced a good turf course and Get Stormy set tepid splits of :24.61, :49.31, and 1:14.01.

Workin for Hops tracked the pacesetter throughout under Rosie Napravnik and got within a 1/2 length of the lead at the six furlong mark. Get Stormy let it out a notch and was a couple of lengths in front in the lane and stopped the clock in 1:37.31 as the 4-1 third betting choice. Javier Castellano booted home the winner for Tom Bush.

Workin for Hops held off late runner Society's Chariman for the place and the order of finish was completed by beaten favorite Court Vision, Bim Bam, Furthest Land, Zifzaf, and Turallure.
