FATEFUL LIGHTNING broke a beat slow without incident, chased along the inside and then just off the inside under prolonged urging from the half mile pole, swung four wide into upper stretch, rallied to take command a furlong out, edged clear to the finish kept to task. EZ ROLL chased along the inside under encouragement from three furlongs out, angled six wide into upper stretch, offered up a mild kick to secure the place honors. GET A JOB broke out at the start and was corrected, led along the inside early on before being displaced from command by NUANCED into the backstretch, tipped out to chase four paths off the inside down the backstretch before tucking three then two wide through the far turn coming under coaxing near the quarter pole, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and seized command straightened away, got collared a furlong from home, then weakened in the late stages while just preserving the show honors on the line. BARKER coaxed from the gate, chased three then two wide until tucked inside through the far turn, came under a ride with five-sixteenths to go, spun two to three wide into upper stretch, weakened in the late stages, then got attended to and vetted after unsaddling seeming to be effected by the heat and was cooled down on the walk back with ice and water while walking off under his own power. LUZ DE GUIA chased four to five paths off the inside down the backstretch, went four then three wide through the far turn under coaxing from the seven-sixteenths marker, angled seven wide into upper stretch, offered up a bid a furlong out, then made no late headway. NUANCED struck the off side stall at the start getting away near the rear of the field, pulled keenly five then four wide through the first turn tucking briefly three wide before seizing command with six and a half furlongs to run, showed the way three paths off the rail down the backstretch under a rating hold, got given some rein nearing the far turn and tucked to the two path through that bend before coming under coaxing near the quarter pole, took the inside route into upper stretch under threat to the outside, yielded the front straightened away and tired through to the finish. FIDDLING FELIX chased three wide down the backstretch and then five wide through the far turn under prolonged urging from the half mile pole, went eight wide into upper stretch and tired.
