Three-year-old sensation Henny Hughes entered the gate as the
favorite, but a slow start took him out of his game and he finished
last, never a factor. Thor's Echo, sent off at 15 to 1, powered by
Bordonaro on the turn and went on to a four length victory. Thor's Echo
had second place finishes in the Golden Shaheen in Dubai and The Ancient
Title handicap at Santa Anita earlier in the year. Trainer Doug O'Neill
noted that if all goes well Thor's Echo will contest the De Francis Dash
at Laurel Park in an attempt to earn the Sprint Eclipse Award for
2006.
