Lucky Island wins Tom Fool race

Lucky Island won the $200,000 Tom Fool and Any Limit took the $150,000 First Flight on Friday as Belmont Park celebrated Independence Day with a pair of seven-furlong handicap stakes run in the mud in New York.

Lucky Island beat Tasteyville by 4 1/4 lengths to remain unbeaten in four races this year. The 4-year-old colt paid $5 to win.

Any Limit held off a late run from Wild Gams by a neck in the First Flight for fillies and mares.
