Flat Out, the longest shot on the board at 13-1, barreled widest of all into the lead at the top of the stretch and onto a 6 ½-length upset in Saturday's 125th edition of the Grade 2, $300,000 Suburban Handicap at Belmont Park. Ridden by Alex Solis, the 5-year-old son of Flatter stayed within hailing distance as even-money favorite Rodman led the field of six through opening fractions of 23.95, 47.02 and 1:10.65. Ranging up on the turn, Flat Out kicked into high gear once straightened for home, powering to the front and drawing off to hit the wire in 1:46.64 for the 1 1/8 miles. Hymn Book, the second choice, was up for second, a length ahead of Rodman.
