ARCADIA, Calif. (AP) Majestic Harbor took control near the three-eighths pole and opened up an insurmountable lead around the far turn to win the $100,000 Tokyo City Cup by three lengths at Santa Anita on Saturday.

Ridden by Tyler Baze, Majestic Harbor ran 1 1/2 miles in 2:03.33 and paid $13.60, $6.60 and $4.20.

''I let him find his own pace today,'' Baze said. ''When he hit his stride and was clicking along smooth, I just let him gallop by everybody and when he decided it was time to go, it was time to go.''

Ever Rider returned $11.60 and $7, while Segway was another 1 3/4 lengths back in third and paid $4.20 to show.
