COMMANDMENT saved ground off the early pace, remained in last in the three path down the backstretch, edged closer three wide around the far turn, angled five wide in upper stretch, closed determinedly and was up on the wire. THE PUMA broke a bit slowly, raced off the pace three wide around the first turn, made progress five wide down the backstretch, bid four wide around the far turn, took the lead near the quarter pole, put away the pace rivals in midstretch, drifted out slightly when urged once left-handed, straightened out under hand urging and led until the final stride. CHIEF WALLABEE raced up close in the two path, was two wide between rivals around the far turn, angled four wide in upper stretch and rallied between foes in somewhat tight quarters through the lane. NEARLY pressed the pace in the three path, took the lead near the seven-sixteenths marker, led to the quarter pole, vied to midstretch and weakened through the final furlong. WAYNE'S LAW stumbled at the start but was still fastest away, set the pace in the two path, was collared near the seven-sixteenths pole, battled on inside off foes to upper stretch and faded in the stretch. TIMELESS VICTORY raced up close four wide, bid four wide between foes midway around the far turn but faltered in the lane.
