MONGOLIAN MAX stalked four wide into the first turn then moved in a few paths, steered back outside in the middle stages, ranged up four then three wide on the far turn, put a head in front in upper stretch, put GRANDISIMO away midstretch and was kept busy to the line. GRANDISIMO vied three deep on the first turn then cleared into the backstretch, crossed over to the inside, took pressure midway up the backstretch, moved clear again at the five-sixteenths pole, confronted by MONGOLIAN MAX turning for home, relinquished the lead shortly after, yielded to that rival midstretch and stayed on for second. CUPID'S CRUSADER trailed off the rail into the first turn then tucked inside, moved off the fence on the backstretch, was on the move in the two path then along the rail again on the far turn, steered off the rail in the lane and flattened out. BALLYHOOLIGAN vied inside a pair of rivals on the clubhouse turn then ceded command to GRANDISIMO approaching the backstretch, moved up to force the issue between rivals in the middle stages, failed to keep up midway around the far turn and weakened in the lane. TEE N OFF vied between rivals into the first turn then took a stalking position, moved up outside the top pair on the backstretch, started to weaken under urging on the second bend and faded in the lane. LAST CALL PAUL hustled from the gate then took a brief hold along the inside prior to the first turn, tracked the speedster from the fence, fell back to last on the far turn, cut the corner into the lane, tired and eased through the final furlong, then walked off the track.
