Check the Label found racing room coming out of the turn and held off the fast-closing Snow Top Mountain in the final yards Saturday afternoon at Belmont Park to win the 32nd running of the $250,000 Garden City Stakes, her fourth straight victory and first in a Grade 1 race. The dark bay daughter of Stormin Fever, the even-money favorite in the field of seven 3-year-old fillies, stayed well behind Queen of the Creek as she led through fractions of 23.39, 47.80 and 1:13.11. Caught behind horses on the turn, Check the Label got herself to the outside approaching the quarter-pole and accelerated through the stretch to take command with a furlong to go, hitting the wire three-quarters of a length in front of Snow Top Mountain.
