Ridden for the first time by Rafael Bejarano, Tamarando ran 1 1/16 miles on Cushion Track in 1:44.22 and paid $7.40, $3.60 and $2.60.
Electric Eddie returned $11.80 and $6.40 at 22-1 odds, while Karma King was another three-quarters of a length back in third and paid $6.60 to show. Green Mask finished fourth as the 6-5 favorite.
