NEW YORK (AP) Marriedtothemusic won by a head in a three-way photo finish in the $100,000 Affirmed Success for New York breds on Friday at Belmont Park.
It was the seventh win, and the first in a stakes, for the 4-year-old trained by Linda Rice. And it was an adventurous trip.
The 1-2 favorite, Marriedtothemusic broke poorly and jockey Cornelio Velasquez lost a stirrup.
Horse and rider gamely recovered to get back in the hunt. Marriedtothemusic edged Night Maneuver, with Weekend Hideaway another head back in third.
