KUPUNA lacked speed and settled near the rear in the early going while being coaxed along to keep contact with the field, circled the field four wide on the turn then finished well under steady handling despite racing on the wrong lead for much of the stretch run. HALMSTAD broke best then ceded the lead to SIR STIRLING while keeping constant pressure on that foe through the turn, took command passing the quarter pole then battled back an early challenge from TODDCHERO, bested that foe but was no match for the winner in the late stages. TODDCHERO tracked four wide early, ranged up three wide approaching the quarter pole, was finishing well under steady handling but could not catch the top pair in the stretch. ESTABLISHED off a bit slowly, was put into a drive from the start, steadied slightly at the seven-sixteenths pole, was kept to task into the stretch and was slowly gaining ground while not a serious threat. BIG BERNIE outrun early, responded when put into a drive with three furlongs to run, swung three wide into the stretch and bettered position while not a major threat. SIR STERLING broke a step slow then was hustled forward to take the lead, was under constant pressure from HALMSTAD through the turn, gave way to that foe in upper stretch and tired. KENTUCKY DAWN was up close to the pace through the initial stages then began to struggle to keep up approaching the half mile pole, came four wide into the stretch and finished one-paced. GENERAL SHIPMAN tracked between horses just behind the pace, loomed approaching the quarter pole then faltered and was put into a protective hold and not persevered with in the stretch.
