OLE MISTER assumed command early, went ahead to a clear lead before the turn, widened to about four lengths through the turn, came into the stretch still traveling well, and maintained the clear margin to the wire under steady handling. NELLE TUE MANI got away well, ceded the lead on OLE MISTER while settling well off the pace two-deep, came under a stiff drive from the quarter pole, and responded with a mild rally, was never getting to the winner but moved up to take the second prize. CLEARLY COLOSSAL got shut off and took back after the start, rushed up under a ride to get back into the race, regained contact with the main pack before the turn, came out four-wide into the stretch, and stayed on enough to pick up the minor award. DIXIE STRONG ducked into the path of the outside rival, saved ground to the stretch, moved out to the two path, but went one-paced late and was unable to threaten. MIDNIGHT COAL lost the path after the start and had to steady, dropped far back initially, then chased the rest of the way with some mild improvement. TAUREAN got pinballed shortly after the break, tried to get back into the race but tired in the late stages and was never a factor. YAKETY YOCK was very briefly up on the pace to the inside, then suddenly dropped back through the field before going a quarter mile, and was distanced.
