CATALINA EXPRESS was bumped at the start but recovered well to be forwardly-positioned, chased from just off the leader three to four wide, moved to challenge at the quarter pole taking a narrow lead coming into upper stretch five to six wide, held rivals at bay under a long drive while being kept busy to the wire. BEN'S HERO was bumped into a rival at the start, settled off the pace, angled eight wide at the top of the stretch, gained steadily but missed. WHO SAYS SO broke just a half-step slowly, settled off the pace, raced about three to four wide, kept on inside rivals but off the fence in late stretch but needed more. HAPPYFLYER broke a step slowly, made an early advance outside runners five to six deep on the turn, reached contention making a mild bid in upper stretch, was outkicked. HASTEN broke just a half-step slowly, settled at the rear shifting in leaving the backstretch, saved some ground near the inside riding the rail into upper stretch, moved out soon after then continued heading out ten deep and finished well outside but needed more. CALL THE CAVALRY chased from inside, saved some ground, was never able to threaten. PEPPERONIKID chased from outside, went four wide on the turn, dropped back and weakened. BOTTOMS UP was bumped into a rival at the start, moved to the fore, set the pace from off the rail, was under urging outside the quarter pole, gave way in the stretch. SIR CHANCE A LOT broke outwardly bumping a rival, was in a hair tight soon after, moved out nearing the three-eighths pole racing in about the five path at that juncture, swung eight wide into upper stretch, failed to menace. PER RULING #2025-21156 FROM HISA, CATALINA EXPRESS WAS DISQUALIFIED FROM FIRST TO UNPLACED DUE TO EXCESSIVE CROP STRIKES.
