TOUCH OF FIRE pressed two wide, vied around the far turn, assumed command in upper stretch and drove clear. TIERNANOGUE bumped with an inner rival at the start, raced off of the pace two wide and between horses early on, bumped with both of those rivals, bobbled subtly, and steadied back nearing the wire for the first time, trailed in the two path, swung five wide into upper stretch, flopped back to his left lead whlie rallying into the final furlong and gained place at the wire. ZEPPELIN broke a beat slow, pursued from midpack two wide and between horses into the backstretch, chased around the far turn, tipped out to the four path while staying on into the final sixteenth, bid for place along with an outer rival shortly after but got nailed at the wire. THOUSANDSTICKS set the pace along the inside, vied with the eventual winner around the far turn, proved no match in upper stretch, moved out to the three path leaving the furlong grounds, flopped back to his left lead at the sixteenth pole and yielded late. KRAVITZ bumped with an inner rival and eased back from between horses nearing the wire for the first time, tracked along the inside then chased evenly through the lane and lacked a bid. SERAC broke half a step slow, laid off of the pace three to four wide into the backstretch, tucked to the two path rounding the far turn then failed to menace before encountering mild traffic late. BAYTOWN DREAMER broke a step slow and was bumped between horses at the start, bumped with an outer rival again approaching the wire for the first time, saved ground well back to no avail. MY FAVORITE BIRD bumped with an outer rival leaving the gate, stalked whlie moving out to the three path around the first turn, chased around the far turn then faded in the four path in upper stretch.
