BALLYVAUGHAN GIG pressed the pace from outside to the top of the lane, fought on even terms in the final furlong and dug in gamely to edge the runner-up. GOLDEN ALE set the pace under pressure from BALLYVAUGHAN GIG, maintained a short lead along the fence through the turn, resisted into the last sixteenth and got outgamed by the winner. DISKO TRIBUTE followed in range outside a rival, traveled in the two path then along the inside on the turn, drifted out at the top of the lane, came back in some near the eighth pole, then drifted out again while gaining on the top pair in deep stretch. BOB'S BLUE MOON got crowded between rivals and had to pause early, angled to the inside, steady when running up behind a rival at the three-eighths pole, went between rivals then came three wide into the stretch, finished willingly and rounded out the superfecta. TIGERHON (FR) trailed in the early going and steered to the inside, passed a rival on the turn, had to pause behind runners at the quarter pole, split rivals at the top of the stretch and produced a mild rally. ELEGANT LIFE chased from inside, dropped back on the turn, came out a bit at the top of the lane and faded. YOGI BOY chased between foes then outside a pair of rivals early, navigated the turn in the three path and faded in the drive. MUTT DILLIN chased from off the rail then got crowded nearing the half-mile pole, dropped out of range, trailed two wide then along the rail on the turn and was never a factor. JEWELED SHILLELAGH tracked out of range from well off the rail, chased four deep on the turn and came up empty for the stretch run.
