Mor Spirit won the Metropolitan Handicap (Grade 1) at Belmont Park on Saturday, giving jockey Mike Smith his fifth victory and trainer Bob Baffert his fourth victory on the Belmont Stakes undercard.
Mor Spirit, a Pennsylvania-bred, won by seven lengths in the race known as the Met Mile in 1:33.17 on the dirt track listed as fast.
In the 12-horse field the second through fourth place finishers were Sharp Azteca, Tommy Macho and Awesome Slew.
That result looked familiar to fans of Gulfstream Park.
In this year's Gulfstream Park Handicap (Grade 2) Sharp Azteca won and was followed by Awesome Slew and Tommy Macho.
Mor Spirit has never raced in Florida.
