Godolphin Stable is having a down year, with just seven U.S. winners, none in graded stakes. Things didn't get much better after their 1-4 favorite, Tahitian Warrior (3rd) , was outgamed through the stretch by Birdrun ($11.20) in a third-level allowance/optional claimer.
Birdrun, who set Belmont's current 1 1/16-mile track record of 1:39.38 last Oct. 21, set the pace while pressed by Tahitian Warrior, and battled back on the rail to win going away by a length after a mile in 1:35.93.
Best Bets
MAGNIFCENTMILLION is obviously not today's "best bet" because of his exploits, other than running against Belmont Stakes-bound Giant Finish and allowance winner Glowing Ember last fall; rather, it's more an indictment against the others, along with the fact that the lone special-weight dropper is bred to love any moisture in the track. BROADWAY HAT is third off the bench for meet-leading trainer who saddled four winners Thursday; the half-empty view is he has burned chalk players time and again since last May.
