TAIF raced up close four deep leaving the chute then took a stalking position in the two path, came under a ride on the far turn, rallied between rivals in upper stretch, battled with outer rivals into the last sixteenth, dueled with YEP (GB) in the final strides and won the bob on the line. YEP (GB) got bumped back in the chute, reserved in the opening stages and taken to the inside, drew closer between rivals into the far turn, swung four wide into the stretch, rallied six deep midstretch, fought outside TAIF late and got the worst of the bob. TIMAYYYY unhurried three deep in the early going, moved forward in the middle stages, driven four wide into the lane, challenged in upper stretch, grabbed the lead outside the sixteenth pole but got outkicked by the top pair. HAZAKA (FR) tracked five deep leaving the chute, went three wide around the clubhouse turn, between rivals on the backstretch, traveled two then three wide on the far turn, challenged between foes with a furlong remaining, got bumped by TAIF in the final sixteenth and got outkicked. CONSTITUTION ANDI pursued keenly in hand along the inside, two wide between on the backstretch, went three deep into the far turn, spun five wide into the lane, chased between rivals at the top of the stretch and got outkicked in the late stages. GO RALPH traveled along the rail near the back early, traveled two then three wide around the clubhouse turn, drew closer three then four deep in the middle stages, came six wide into the stretch, rallied eight deep and lacked the needed late punch. FAUSTO trailed on the inside, passed a rival into the far turn, remained inside to the stretch, shifted off the rail with a furlong remaining and produced a mild rally to pass rivals but failed to threaten for the major award. KHONSU tracked from inside, fell out of range into the backstretch, drew closer approaching the far turn, continued on the rail around the bend, tipped out into the lane and could not answer the call. PARKER'S CANDY away quickest from the gate, vied three deep leaving the chute, ceded the lead running through the stretch for the first time, stalked three deep around the clubhouse turn, bid three deep at the half-mile pole, fought head to head through the far turn, carried a short lead into the stretch, resisted into the final furlong, lost the lead midstretch and weakened in the last sixteenth. POSTMODERN showed early foot between rivals, pulled running through the stretch first time around, took a stalking position in the two path, challenged for the lead between rivals at the half-mile pole, took a narrow lead on the far turn, relinquished the lead to PARKER'S CANDY, fought back into the final furlong, then weakened in the late stages. SCORPY bumped a rival in the chute, pulled early in the two path approaching the first turn then was hard to handle around the bend, raced outside a rival at the back into the far turn, trailed into the stretch and passed a tired rival. AMERICAN KING vied for the lead from inside leaving the chute, took control running through the stretch for the first time, cleared outer rival around the clubhouse turn, challenged by outer pair at the half-mile pole, lost command on the far turn but continued to fight back, finally yielded in upper stretch, faded in the furlong grounds, pulled up on the clubhouse turn and was transported off the track via equine ambulance.
