STARK CONTRAST pursued from midpack two to three wide and between horses, advanced four wide around the far turn, rallied to bid outside of the leader at the furlong grounds, drove clear and held sway. REMEMBER MAMBA was brushed between horses at the start, settled well back in the two path, took the far turn in the four path, advanced between horses entering the lane, shifted out to the eight path into upper stretch, rallied while drifting about and gained place late. HONEY DUTCH prompted the leader from the three path, vied before gaining an advantage with nine sixteenths to go, built a clear advantage into the far turn, but got caught by an outer challenger at the furlong grounds and yielded place late. ALPYLAND stalked from the two path, then three wide and between horses around the far turn, got outkicked for place in upper stretch, stayed on while hanging on his left lead but lost show at the sixteenth pole. BLINGING IT BACK pursued from midpack along the inside, then two wide and between horses with nine sixteenths to go, floated three wide turning for home then stayed on mildly. LET'S BE FRANK leaned inwardly and steadied behind a rival soon after the start, settled along the inside, shifted two wide turning for home then improved between horses. BLACK HORNET laid off of the pace in the three path and between horses, brushed with an outer rival entering the far turn before shifting out to the six path around that bend, fanned out to the eight path into the lane then failed to menace. VASY (IRE) tracked in the three path and between horses, chased along the inside around the far turn then tired. STEEL IMPERIUM brushed with an outer foe at the start, yielded between rivals to trail with fifteen sixteenths to go, took the two path and made little impact. GREENWICH VILLAGE steadied between horses nearing the wire for the first time, laid off of the pace hung four wide, brushed with an inner foe into the far turn before being floated six wide shortly after, then faded. STREET BEAST came out at the start, set the pace along the inside, got headed by an outer prompter with nine sixteenths to go then weakened rounding the far turn. THOUSANDSTICKS brushed with an inner foe and leaned inwardly at the start, raced close up in the four path, chased two wide around the far turn then weakened between horses. FINAL SCORE pursued from midpack three to four wide, then five wide around the far turn and weakened.
