BIRD THE LEGEND prompted outside of the leader and from the three path, vied into the far turn, forged an advantage with five sixteenths to go, led as an outer SOTTO MO bid at the quarter pole, got headed by that one entering the lane yet sustained the duel through the final furlong and fought back to reclaim an advantage late. SOTTO MO tracked two wide and between horses early on, loomed a danger outside of the top pair and form the four path around the far turn, bid and vied at the quarter pole, wrestled an advantage entering the lane but failed to kick away from a persistent inner counterpart as the duel continued through the final furlong and got outfinished. SURFIN' M set the pace in the two path as the eventual winner applied firm outer pressure, vied with that one into the far turn, got headed with five sixteenths to go, proved no match for an outer pair nearing the lane yet was the best of the rest. FINAL THOUGHTS stalked along the inside, chased the leaders around the far turn, moved out to the three path entering the lane and stayed on mildly. FIGHT THE POWER raced off of the pace in the five to three path around the first turn, shifted out to the five path entering the lane and failed to menace. KENWOOD STREET was bumped by an inner foe at the start, lacked speed in the three to four path, fanned to the six path into the lane and failed to factor. ROADSWITCHER bumped an outer foe at the start, trailed along the inside, then in the four path around the far turn and never got involved. ROMANTIC LEAD broke a step slow, pursued from midpack along the inside then faltered rounding the far turn. DA PRINCE IS RIGHT tracked from the four path, weakened in the five path around the far turn then folded while being floated to the seven path entering the lane.
