Gentlemen, who couldn’t keep pace with Siphon in the Santa Anita Handicap four months ago, overtook his stablemate at the top of the stretch to win the $1 million Hollywood Gold Cup in Inglewood, Calif., by four lengths.

Ridden by Gary Stevens, who recorded his third Gold Cup victory, Gentlemen covered 1-1/4 miles in 1:59-1/5 - a second off the stakes record set by Quack in 1972 - and paid $5.20, $2.60 and $2.10.

Siphon, the 13-10 favorite ridden by David Flores, crossed the finish line four lengths in front of Sandpit and returned $2.60 and $2.10. Second place was worth $200,000, raising Siphon’s career earnings to $2,773,619.
