"I didn't think she'd get her at the eighth pole," Frankel said.

In the final sixteenth, Heads Will Roll caught Live Your Dreams and won by a half-length for her second consecutive stakes win, finishing 1 1/8 miles on turf in 1:47.75.

Watch, trained by Frank Brothers, finished a length ahead of 25-1 shot Sitka in the Grade 3, $169,350 Cardinal. Gino's Spirits, who had traffic trouble in the stretch, was another nose back in third.

Sweetest Thing, who enjoyed a perfect stalking trip, settled for second, a head in front of Lady Dora.

Owner and trainer Pat Sonnen claimed Speed Trial out of that sharp score and bumps him up three levels for Monday's return, which might be seen as a sign of confidence. Sonnen has tabbed Felipe Valdez to ride.

FORT ERIE, Ont. - In an extraordinary move, trainer Don MacRae challenged the official result of a Sept. 16 race at Fort Erie - via the photo-finish.

The appeal, heard by a panel Oct. 31, was successful. The proper order of finish was determined to be Nabethian first, Sweeping Eva second.
