SHEPHERD tracked in the three path, ranged up in the four path passing the three-sixteenths pole, bid entering the shortened lane, and drew clear in the final sixteenth. LEAR bumped with an inner foe at the start, steadied around the first turn, moved up along the inside to vie for the lead passing the half, held command entering the far turn, was cued early around the far turn, faced challenges from an outer duo turning into the stretch, fought on while losing the lead passing the eighth pole, but held place. BARRICADE stalked in the five path, ranged up under coaxing in the four path around the far turn, bid between from the three path at the top of the shortened lane, and fought on but hung late to show. WE NEED A FAVOR pressed the pace from the four to three paths but flattened in the stretch. BRILLIANT MAN rated inside, was ridden in the two path around the far turn, but made no final bid. CALYCANTHUS raced off the pace in the three path and did not factor. TEJAS raced in range from the two path, was driven from the rail around the far turn, but retreated. TIZ WICKED STRONG trailed along the inside up the backstretch and never threatened. MIGHTY MESSAGE bumped with an outer foe at the start, vied for the lead in the two path but yielded around the far turn.
