AIDAN O’Brien and Coolmore ventured to Belmont Park, doubled-fisted in the Belmont Derby Invitational and the Belmont Oaks Invitational last Saturday.

They left with a win and a third as Deauville, the higher-priced runner in the Belmont Derby, overcame the outside post for jockey Jamie Spencer to score by a neck.

Deauville found a sweet spot in second, behind longshot Toughest ‘Ombre and in front off 11 rivals in the 10-furlong test of stamina for three-year-olds.

That early position helped as he kicked for home and runner-up Highland Sky was forced to circle wide. Deauville held on to win by a neck, erasing a four-race losing streak, including a 21¾-length drubbing in the Epsom Derby in his most recent start.

Americans stymied the Irish invasion in the Oaks as Coolmore finished third and Ballydoyle finished last.

America’s best three-year-old filly Catch A Glimpse continued her dominance with a front-running half-length score over Time And Motion in the $1 million stakes.

Owned by Gary Barber, Michael Ambler and Windways Farm, the daughter of City Zip added another win to her eight-race winning streak. Trained by Mark Casse, she’s won over six racetracks, from seven furlongs to 10 furlongs, against girls, against boys.

There is nothing like accomplishing a goal. In May, Catch A Glimpse won on Kentucky Oaks Day, which was a challenge for the high-strung filly. Casse exhaled and aimed at the Oaks - critics be damned.

“This was the biggest challenge, Oaks Day. She’s going to go somewhere quiet,” Casse said in May. “The big goal would be the Belmont Oaks. It’s a mile and a quarter. I’m sure all the experts will say she can’t go
