A 19-1 shot gave 7-5 favorite Protonico what-for in the $400,000 Alysheba Stakes on the Longines Kentucky Oaks undercard, but the 4-year-old Giant's Causeway runner surged back in the last jump to deny his challenger May 1 at Churchill Downs.
Mark Casse trainee Noble Bird came with an outside run after tracking third behind Protonico and pacesetter Den's Legacy, who led the field of 10 through early fractions of :23.
