NEW YORK (AP) - Friend Or Foe rolled to a five-length win over Icabad Crane in the $200,000 Empire Classic on Saturday at Belmont Park.

The Empire Classic was the richest of the 10 races on New York Showcase Day, a card devoted exclusively to horses bred in the state.

Friend Or Foe took charge immediately and was never threatened with Alex Solis aboard for trainer John Kimmel. A 3-year-old colt, Friend Of Foe improved to 4 for 6 overall, and 3 for 3 against New York breds.

The 6-5 favorite, Friend Or Foe paid $4.60, $3 and $2.30. The time was 1:46.94 for the 1 1-8 miles on the fast track.

Icabad Crane, the early trailer after slamming into the starting gate at the break, rallied from last in the 10-horse field to return $7.10 and $4.30.

Wishful Tomcat paid $3.30 to show.

In other stakes results, General Maximus beat Be Bullish by 1 1/2 lengths in the $125,000 Hudson, and Sentimental Lass improved to 2 for 3 with a one-length win over Saltamontes in the $100,000 Maid of the Mist for 2-year-old fillies. Pocket Cowboys aced the $125,000 Mohawk on the turf, defeating Straight Story by 1 1/4 lengths.

Bandbox, the 3-5 favorite, is now 3 for 3 after beating Luxury Appeal by 1 1/4 lengths in the $100,000 Sleepy Hollow for 2-year-olds, and Meese Rocks was a decisive 2 1/4-length victor over R Betty Graybull in the $125,000 Iroquois for fillies and mares.
