TAKE A STANCE coaxed from the gate, established the front into the first turn and showed the way in hand along the inside settled into a comfortable rhythm through moderate splits, remained patiently handled until roused taking the two path into upper stretch, dug in under threat and clung gamely and stubbornly to command under attack from a pair of rivals and held them off on the wire to score. I CAN SEE THAT raced just off the inside through the first turn, chased two to three wide from just off the pace, got set down two to three wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive noses apart for command through the final furlong and just missed at the end when staved off by the top by a sliver. PRINTER'S ALLEY tracked the pace along the inside coming under a ride with five-sixteenths to go, angled four to five wide into upper stretch, rallied to engage the top pair through the final sixteenth and missed at the finish. VINTAGE VINO two to three wide at the tail of the field, came under encouragement with five-sixteenths to go, went nine wide into upper stretch and kicked on belatedly to the finish. ROYAL BROWNE raced just off the inside in pursuit from mid pack, came under a ride with five-sixteenths to go, angled six wide into upper stretch and stayed on one paced to the finish. CAPRICIOUS OUTCOME saved ground near the rear of the field patiently handled until let out swinging seven to eight wide into upper stretch, improved position to the finish, then got pulled up after the gallop out and was attended to and vetted on the main track before being transported off the track via the equine ambulance, then was subsequently reported to have bled. JETER broke awkwardly at the start, chased along the inside coming under a ride near the quarter pole, swung four wide into upper stretch and passed tired rivals. FUNKY SEE FUNKY DO chased two to three wide under urging from the five-sixteenths marker, went seven wide into upper stretch and offered no response. EXHIBITION ONLY coaxed from the gate, chased just off the inside coming under a ride near the quarter pole, angled five wide into upper stretch and made no impact. KINGS DANCER led early on before being displaced narrowly into the first turn, prompted the leader from the outside in the two path, got shaken off a bit and tucked inside through the far turn coming under urging at the five-sixteenths, took the inside route into upper stretch and weakened. LAWYER MASON chased along the inside under urging from the five-sixteenths pole, spun two to three wide for home and weakened.
