Although the race was greatly diminished by the withdrawal of Triple Crown aspirant I'll Have Another, New York racegoers were still treated to a blockbuster finish as Union Rags, ridden by John Velazquez, came fast and late in the $1million heat to deny Paynter by a short neck

The King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot remains a possibility for the John Gosden-trained three-year-old, who made hard work of landing prohibitive odds of 1-8, but that was put down to a dislike for rain-softened ground.
