"We gave Dataman time off over the winter," said Motion. "He'd been running hard last year. I was surprised to see him win so easily."
"I was glad to see English Bee come back to his form," said Motion. "They'll both probably run again during Preakness week."
Merry Fox Stables' homebred Five Towns (GB) won the $100,000, 1 mile Dahlia Stakes on the turf for Fillies and Mares by 1 1/4lengths.
