MAJOR CROCKER A, EYE OFA TIGER AS WIN SATURDAY NIGHT 44G CO-FEATURES

Major Crocker A, from post position No. 4, was handy from first-up in the weekly adult pace. He engaged Caviart Luca (George Brennan) after that one's seemingly-cheap early intervals of 27.3 and 57.1.

Regardless, Major Crocker A disposed of that one by the 1:24.3 three-quarters. He opened a length-and-three-quarter lead on and out of the final turn, then prevailed by that exact same margin in a life-best 1:52.3.

Micky Gee N (Jordan Stratton), as the 13-10 favorite, badly gapped the winner down the backside before belated getting into second. Third went to Caviart Luca, with Mac's Jackpot and Our Max Phactor N picking off the remainder.

For third choice Major Crocker A, a 9-year-old Down Under Art Major gelding co-owned by Rene Allard, Stephen Klunowski and Kapildeo Singh, it was his second win in nine seasonal starts. The exacta paid $21.20, the triple returned $55 and the superfecta paid $165.

The week's marquee worked well for Eye ofa Tiger AS who-from post No. 4-was the only leaver and has breaker-incited confusion behind him.

He went the distance 28.4, 58.4, 1:26.3, season's-best 1:55.3, holding off the bid of Will Take Charge by three-quarters of a length. New Heaven, Melady's Monet and In Secret settled for the minor moolah.

For Eye ofa Tiger AS, a 5-year-old Chapter Seven gelding co-owned by ACL Stuteri AB & Kjell Johansson and trained by Anette Lorentzon, it was his fourth win in 11 '19 tries. The exacta paid $35.60, the triple returned $98 and the superfecta paid $95.50.
