DISCOTHEQUE coaxed from the gate, crossed to be near the inside shortly after the start and showed the way in hand just off the inside down the backstretch under some pressure from THE STANDARD to the outside, remained patiently handled through the turn until roused spinning three wide into upper stretch, edged away under a drive to the eighth pole, dug in under threat and came out slightly brushing THE STANDARD twenty four yards from the finish, then held safe to the wire to prevail. THE STANDARD coaxed from the start, prompted the aforementioned foe from the outside three paths off the rail, came under coaxing near the quarter pole and swung four wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive coming in slightly under a right handed crop closing a gap between he and the leader near the sixteenth marker, got brushed by that rival twenty four yards from the finish, then was repelled to the line while having the crop of DISCOTHEQUE flashed in front to the end. OLD TIME ROCKNROLL coaxed from the gate, chased two to three paths off the inside down the backstretch before tucking inside through the turn coming under encouragement with five-sixteenths to go, angled out seven wide into upper stretch and offered up a belated kick to nearly latch on the top pair as they hit the finish. SIR DUKE coaxed from the gate when away last without incident, advanced just off the inside and had DISCOTHEQUE tuck in front while safely clear and became eager pulling against the restraint of the rider getting off heels after being briefly rushed and then put to a firm hold, didn't have the clearance to take the rail and briefly attempted to tip out but was denied by the presence of a rival occupying the three path, fought the bit against the rider's hard hold through to just outside the half mile pole before settling along the inside in a loose pocket through the turn, angled five wide into upper stretch set down for the drive and weakened in the late stages. GRAND GESTURE coaxed from the start, chased four paths off the inside down the backstretch forwardly placed outside rivals, continued four wide through the turn under coaxing from the seven-sixteenths marker, tipped six wide at the head of the stretch and weakened. REGENERATION coaxed from the gate, chased three wide under a ride with seven-sixteenths to run, angled six wide into upper stretch and tired. CHESS MATCH chased five to six paths off the rail until tucked to the inside near the nine-sixteenths pole, came under urging three furlongs out, spun three wide for home and made no impact. SUNSHINE BOBALOU chased four then three wide down the backstretch before heading three then two wide through the turn ridden along from the three-eighths pole, angled five to six wide into upper stretch and made no impact.
