Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 31, 2021 Journalists Share Posted July 31, 2021 Champion and 'TDN Rising Star' Essential Quality (c, 3, Tapit–Delightful Quality, by Elusive Quality) covered all the ground and outbattled a game Keepmeinmind (Laoban) for a narrow victory in Saturday's GII Jim Dandy S. at Saratoga. Masqueparade (Upstart) was third. The 2-5 favorite, drawn widest of all in post five, was four wide and kept in the clear down the backstretch in fourth. The last out GI Belmont S. hero began to dial it up while four wide on the far turn and made his bid for the lead parked out even further at the top of the stretch. Keepmeinmind, meanwhile, saved all the ground and enjoyed the run of the race with a rail rally in the stretch. Those two locked up leaving the sixteenth pole and Essential Quality grinded his way to a neck decision. Lifetime Record: 8-7-0-0. O/B-Godolphin (Ky); T-Brad Cox.
