Taylor Said wins the 77th running of the Longacres Mile after a battle in the stretch with Winning Machine.

Winning Machine led most of the race, and lost by nose at the finish to Taylor Said.

Renton native trainer Mike Puhich wins his first Mile with Taylor Said.

Jocky Mario Gutierrez has had a great year -- won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness aboard I'll Have Another -- the only jockey to win both the Derby and Longacres Mile in a year.
