MR. MENDELSSOHN was crowded at the start and broke a step slowly leaving the gate, was allowed to settle and saved ground into the first turn, tracked the decent pace while saving ground through the backstretch run, angled three wide at the quarter marker and loomed into upper stretch, battled with ENJOY THE MOMENT heading to the furlong pole, shook free into the final sixteenth and drew clear to prevail at the finish. ENJOY THE MOMENT was forwardly placed away from the start and went two to three wide into the first turn, gained ground along the backstretch run and was well placed at the quarter marker, was roused four then three wide into the far turn and gained command at the quarter pole, met the bid of MR. MENDELSSOHN in upper stretch and battled that one to the furlong marker, could not match strides with the winner into the final sixteenth and just held for second at the finish. SARK was sent to the early lead, disputed decent fractions with TAVERNELLE heading to the half-mile marker, lost the lead into the second turn and chased to the quarter marker, ran in pursuit into the stretch, weakened in the drive but stayed on into the final sixteenth and just missed for second, while holding clearly for third. WINGBACK settled just off of the early pace and went two to three wide into the first turn, tracked the decent pace through the backstretch run, was well placed into the second turn and chased two to three wide nearing the quarter pole, shifted four wide into the stretch, was outkicked at the furlong marker and did not offer a late response. FINCAIRN unhurried in the early stages, saved ground into the first turn, improved position along the backstretch run and saved all of the ground into the second turn, could not muster the needed response in the stretch drive and passed tiring rivals late. DONTIM rated off of the early pace, was hard to place along the first turn and lugged out approaching the run onto the backstretch, was unhurried heading to the half-mile marker and did not threaten in the stretch drive. TAVERNELLE hustled to be forwardly placed away from the start, contested the decent early pace two to three wide into the backstretch run, disputed decent fractions heading to the half-mile marker, vied for the lead two wide into the far turn, could not keep pace into upper stretch and tired in the drive. DRINKS AT THE CLUB paused at the start and was off slowly, lacked early speed and trailed into the first turn, raced well behind the others heading into the far turn and did not factor.
