Life At Ten, whose six-race win streak was snapped when she finished third in the Personal Ensign at Saratoga, roared back into the winner's circle Saturday afternoon at Belmont Park with a rousing two-length victory over favored Unrivaled Belle in the 72nd running of the Grade 1, $350,000 Beldame Invitational. The 7-5 second choice in the field of five fillies and mares, Life At Ten settled in third, several lengths behind longshot Queen Martha as she was tracked by Unrivaled Belle through opening fractions of 23.68 and 47.80. Moving up three-wide on the turn in tandem with the favorite, jockey John Velazquez sent Life At Ten charging to the front straightening for home, and the 4-year-old Malibu Moon miss was never seriously threatened as she cruised home in 1:49.29 for the 1 1/8 miles.
