MY RUSSIAN vied for the lead in the two path around the first turn, showed the way turning up the backstretch, got let out a notch entering the far turn, came under pressure passing the quarter, drew away at the top of the lane, and kicked on to hold firm. MANDATORY MISSION hopped at the start, chased in the three path, came under a ride in the four path passing the three-eighths pole, angled out to the five path at the top of the stretch, and ran on to be second best. HURRICANE COMIN laid pf the pace in the two path, was roused from the three path midway around the far turn, floated out to the seven path at the top of the lane, and improved outside of rivals for show. NO KID OF MINE pressed the pace from along the rail, was ridden in the far turn, lost ground rounding the far turn, bumped with an outer foe around the three-sixteenths, and faded in the two path down the stretch. IRISH GUARD tracked in the four path, angled into the two path while coming under a drive passing the three-eighths pole, swung from the three path into the lane, bumped with an inner foe passing the three-sixteenths pole, then weakened. ARKANSAS DAVE stalked out in the five path up the backstretch, came under pressure from the three path passing the three-eighths pole, but retreated while back in the five path down the stretch. RULY'S STREET slowly broke out at the start, trailed along the rail and never threatened. BANDED WRIT laid up close in the three path but gave way in the two path around the far turn.
