ETOBICOKE, Ontario — The longshot Something Extra outran the other speed and kept on going to take the $154,200 Connaught Cup Stakes convincingly at Woodbine on Sunday.

The Grade 2 Connaught was the second of three winners on the card for Eurico Da Silva, who guided Something Extra through slow fractions of 23 and :45.59 seconds in the seven-furlong turf sprint. They prevailed by 2 1/2 lengths over a wide-closing Big Band Sound. Artic Fern finished third, and the favored American shipper Mutual Trust was seventh in the 11-horse field.

Amarish was timed in 50.98 seconds, not far off of Southern Fireball’s 2009 track record of 50.67 seconds.
