Undefeated one-turn titans Jackie s Warrior and Drain the Clock will square off in Saturday s 37th running of the Grade 1, $400,000 Woody Stephens presented by Nassau County Industrial Development Agency.

With the mile and one-eighth distance taking its toll, heavily favored Charmaine s Mia faltered in the final sixteenth in Monday s Grade 1, $300,000 Gamely Stakes at Santa Anita in Arcadia, Calif., and longshot Maxim Rate, ridden for the first time by Juan Hernandez, took full advantage as she lengthened her stride when it counted to win by a half-length. Trained by Simon Callaghan, Maxim Rate got the 1 1/8 miles on firm turf in 1:46.61.
Charmaine s Mia, a winner of three consecutive graded stakes at shorter distances coming into the Gamely, took her customary position on the lead but hit the deep end of the pool a sixteenth of a mile from home and Maxim Rate, who stalked the pace while fourth early, was able to take full advantage while holding off a late run from French-bred La Signare.
