Ridden by Tyler Baze, Battle of Hastings closed from fifth in a field of seven to win the Grade 3 race for 3-year-olds by 1 1/4 lengths over 7-5 favorite Flashmans Papers. Luckiest Man, an 11-1 outsider, finished third.
Battle of Hastings ran about 6 1/2 furlongs on the hillside turf course in 1:11.86.
