In a dramatic finish, The Apache beat Real Solution by a nose in the Arlington Million only to have the race taken away from him in the boardroom. He drifted quite sharply close to the finish line and, considering the narrow margin of victory, the stipes gave the race to Real Solution. The third horse, Side Glance, finished a further two lengths backs.
South Africa will have to wait a bit longer for that first open company US Gr1 victory by a SAf-bred horse. The two Gr1 victories recorded to date, by Gypsy's Warning and Crimson Palace, have been in fillies races. Gypsy's Warning, like The Apache, is by the Storm Cat stallion Mogok.
