Catch a Glimpse, owned in partnership by Gary Barber, Michael James Ambler and Windways Farm, held off a late challenge from Time and Motion to keep her winning streak intact in capturing Saturday’s Grade 1, $1 million Belmont Oaks Invitational for 3-year-old fillies on Stars & Stripes Day at Belmont Park.

The Mark Casse-trained bay filly set the pace and fended off Time and Motion’s stretch run for a half-length victory on the firm turf. By taking the 38th edition of the Belmont Oaks, Catch a Glimpse clinched a spot in the Grade 1, $2 million Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf Division in November at Santa Anita Park.

Her winning time for the 1 ¼-mile race was 1:59.87 in the longest race of her career. It was the eighth consecutive victory for Catch a Glimpse, who is undefeated in seven graded stakes start, including two Grade 1 wins.
