BYWORD shied slightly from an inner foe soon after the start, trailed in the two path, advanced in fanning five to seven wide turning for home, rallied to bid along with an inner VAMOS YA at the furlong grounds, battled with that one through the final furlong and narrowly prevailed. VAMOS YA prominent along the inside early on, checked as the leader crossed over at the seven furlong pole, stalked from the two path, shifted out to the four to five path to take aim in upper stretch, rallied along with an outer BYWORD to bid between horses at he furlong grounds, dueled with his outer counterpart through the late stages but missed at the wire. OLIVERIO prompted outside of the leader and from the three path, vied in the two path rounding the far turn, led briefly in upper stretch but got caught by an outer pair at the furlong grounds, then kept on well. SHARP STRIKE pursued two wide, chased in the three to two path into the lane, altered inwardly while staying on in the final furlong and improved position. NO REMATCH bumped with an inner foe at the start, raced off of the pace in the two to four path into the backstretch progressed in the four to six path turning for home, but flattened out entering the lane and yielded between horses. HAMMER OF JUSTICE bumped with an outer rival and brushed an inner foe at the start, led narrowly from an outer prompter, vied with that one turning for home but got headed in upper stretch and faded. PYROMANIA lacked speed two wide, trailed turing for home then failed to factor between horses. AIN'T NO DISCO tracked from the four to three path, chased between horses around the far turn then weakened while getting floated five wide into the lane. NO TAKE BACKS took up slightly when passing the wire for the first time, got keyed up and pursued from midpack along the inside while snug in the bit, chased around the far turn then tired.
