Johnny Bear (g, 7, English Channel–In Return, by Horse Chestnut {SAf}), winless in six attempts since upsetting last year’s GI Northern Dancer Turf S. at Woodbine, did it again at 16-1 Saturday.

The chestnut sat a good trip while midpack through early fractions of :24.24 and :49.26. He began to advance on the far turn, snuck up an inviting opening along the rail in the stretch and eked out a game half-length victory.

Mekhtaal (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) was second; English Illusion (English Channel) was third.

Sales history: $278,823 yrl ’12 CNOSEP.

Lifetime Record: 40-8-8-6.
