MISTER POSITIVITY laid off of the pace two wide and between horses around the turn, advanced inside of foes while moving out to the four path into upper stretch, rallied while hanging on his left lead, drove past the leader at the sixteenth pole but lugged inwardly shortly after then held sway. BIG TECH progressed to bid outside of the top pair approaching the turn, led narrowly three deep around the bend, drew clear in midstretch, but got caught by an outer bidder at the sixteenth pole then shied and steadied when that one lugged into his path late. MCILROY broke a step slow, lacked speed in the three to four path, swung out to the eight path into upper stretch and rallied to reach show at the wire. ROMANTIC LEAD was fractious in the starting gate, bumped with an outer foe at the start, raced forwardly in the four to three path around the turn, got outkicked by an inner rival while chasing in the five path into the lane, stayed on mildly to edge show late but got caught at the wire. FROSTED BULL bumped with an inner rival at the start, trailed along the inside, shifted to the three path into the lane then rallied willingly between horses. BEKHAMBOY vied two wide, then between horses around the turn, gave way in upper stretch then yielded show to outer foes in the final sixteenth. COMPRESSED chased along the inside then tired. COAL FIRED raced off of the pace three wide, shifted out to the seven path into upper stretch and failed to factor. CHARLIE TOLU vied for the lead with an outer pair around the turn then weakened in upper stretch. TIP TOE JOE got floated out by an inner foe at the start, stalked from the five to four path, chased in the six path into the lane and weakened. KNICK THE QUICK hopped and broke outwardly at the start, lacked speed in the five path, fanned to the nine path into the lane and got outrun. THE RIDER OF BIG TECH CLAIMED FOUL AGAINST MISTER POSITIVITY ALLEGING INTERFERENCE IN THE FINAL SIXTEENTH, BUT THE OBJECTION WAS DISALLOWED BY THE STEWARDS.
