He was patiently handled off the flank of a wild longshot, and with a well-timed rally, Third Coast (Uncle Mo) got first jump on the late-charging betting choice to win the GIII Hill Prince Stakes at Belmont Park.The field broke well and 51-1 longshot Bull Shoals (Mo Forza) decided he had the audacity to lead early through opening fractions of :24.56 and a half in :49.80. Third Coast tracked in second, and never far away from him, up backstretch while Chambersville (Twirling Candy) raced in third and 6-5 favorite Caroline St. Beat (Tiz the Law) tracked off the pace in midpack.Positions remained largely unchanged on the far turn, but the scramble for the lead began coming off the bend as the pack closed ranks. Third Coast took over Bull Shoals heading for home and it proved to be the winning move. He got first jump on Caroline St. Beat to win by a clear margin. Ultra-game pacesetter Bull Shoals held on for third over a cavalry charge for the minors.The final time was 1:54.93Trainer Tom Proctor had two wins on the day counting the turf feature on the card. Third Coast was last seen running second Sept. 7 in the Gio Ponti Stakes going a mile over the Saratoga lawn.O/B-Glen Hill Farm (KY); T-Tom Proctor. rides the wave to victory and wins the G3 Hill Prince S. at Belmont Park!
