Dismissed at 9-1 behind odds-on favorite Winter Memories, Hungry Island gobbled up ground as she rallied through the stretch and went on to a 2 ½-length victory in the Grade 2, $150,000 Woodford Reserve Lake Placid Sunday afternoon at Saratoga Race Course. The victory was the fourth straight and first in a graded stakes for the 3-year-old daughter of More Than Ready, who was content to sit in last place behind Bellamy Star's opening quarter-mile of 26.07 and a half in 51.91. Coming wide around the turn under jockey Alex Solis, Hungry Island surged into contention as the field of seven straightened for home and grabbed the lead from Kathmanblu with 110 yards to go. Her time for the 1 1/8 miles over a yielding Mellon turf course was 1:53.77.
