No Spin, beaten a half-length by the 6-year-old Quite a Handful in his last start May 5, had jockey Channing Hill in the irons on Sunday morning, while Slamit, who has never raced on turf but won Sam Houston's $50,000 Spring Stakes over muddy going March 10, had jockey Rosemary Homeister Jr. in the saddle.
Working in company, the Tim Ice-trained pair got splits of 37 flat and 1:02.60 before completing the six-furlong distance in 1:14.60.
