BRAVE PILOT stalked the leader from the three to four path, bid and gained an advantage while tucking to the three path into the far turn, got collared by an outer challenger turning for home, dug in and dueled with that one into midstretch then gamely shook free with a sixteenth to go. DIRECT STRIKE came out at the start, stalked behind the leaders and from the two path, then the three path and between horses with five furlongs to go, progressed moving outside of foes into the far turn, ranged up to bid outside of the new leader turning for home, battled with that one through midstretch but was turned away in the final furlong and proved second best. MONEY MAN broke slowly, trailed along the inside early on, then in the three to four path and between horses around the far turn, advanced swinging to the six path entering the lane, ran on to bid for show in midstretch, dueled with an inner foe for that position thereafter and shared it at the wire. OSO DE ORO settled two wide and between horses, offered an inside bid for show in upper stretch, battled for that position with an outer counterpart through the final furlong and dead-heated at the wire. REB pursued from midpack along the inside, chased in the two to three path and between horses turning for home, vied for show entering the lane but yielded between horses in midstretch while hanging on his left lead. DESERT FOX tracked from the four path, chased around the far turn, floated to the five path entering the lane and gave way. BOURBON DREAM leaned outwardly and was off a step slow, raced off of the pace in the five path but faded in the six path turning for home and was done early. BOYLSTON showed the way in the two path, tucked to the inside while yielding to an outer presser into the far turn then readily stopped.
