Hung out four wide into the first turn, Backsideofthemoon advanced into second place to stalk the pacesetting Still Krz before edging away in deep stretch.

The 4-year-old trained by Leo O'Brien and ridden by Mike Luzzi earned his second win in seven starts with the 6-1 upset.

The time was 1:46.57 for the 1 1/16 miles.

Backsideofthemoon paid $14, $6.40 and $4.70.

Still Krz returned $6.40 and $5.10. Piloting paid $7.90 to show.

Imperia, the 4-5 favorite, never mounted a rally and finished sixth.
