Marred by a spill in the stretch, Resilience (c, 3, Into Mischief–Meadowsweet, by Smart Strike) punched his ticket to the GI Kentucky Derby in Saturday's GII Wood Memorial S. at Aqueduct.

Society Man (Good Magic), off at odds of 99-1, was second. Another longshot Protective (Medaglia d'Oro) was third at 38-1.

Longshot Deposition (Constitution) appeared to clip heels while racing in traffic in the stretch and unseated jockey Dexter Haddock. Per Dr. Hinchliffe, NYRA Director of Veterinarians, Deposition stood up under his own power and walked onto the ambulance, the NYRA press department reported. He will be taken back to the barn area for further evaluation. Haddock was taken to on-track EMT and will visit a local hospital for further evaluation.

The rail-drawn Resilience, off at odds of 5-1, sat a dream trip in third while racing with first-time blinkers through fractions of :23.45 and :47.49. He revved up three deep approaching the quarter pole, hit the front as they turned for home and kept on rolling down the stretch despite drifting late to win by three lengths.

Resilience becomes the 71st graded winner for the all-conquering Into Mischief. He was represented by his 21st Grade I winner Leslie's Rose in Friday's GI Ashland S. at Keeneland.

The final time for 1 1/8 miles was 1:50.28.

Lifetime Record: 6-2-1-1.
