Nobody told Applicator that he was winless since May 28, 2016, with only two money finishes in 13 subsequent starts. Jockey Jose Valdivia, Jr., settled behind a pace-setting Western Reserve through the first 1/2-mile before kicking into high gear and reaching the finish line first at odds of 13/1. Flatlined overcame a slow start to get up late for second ahead of Shining Copper. It was a neck back to Irish Strait, who was a nose in front of Western Reserve. Zambian, Bandar, and Hootenanny completed the order of finish. Dimension was scratched. The win improved the 4-year-old gelding’s record to 30-3-2-2 with career earnings of $335,470. The winner’s share was only $120,280, rather than $240,560, due to Applicator not being eligible for funds out of the Kentucky Thoroughbred Development Fund.
