Simons then let Eastend Eddie do the heavy lifting through fractions of 55.2 and 1:23.2 before pulling around the final turn to challenge in the stretch.

Down the stretch Eastend Eddie reached for more, but E Street Plan proved too strong capturing victory in 1:51.

The mile established a new lifetime mark for the 3-year old son of Rocknroll Hanover – Plan On It, who posted his fifth win in ten seasonal starts for trainer Chuck Connor Jr.
