YES I WILL tracked the leaders on the outside up the backstretch, navigated the bend from the four path and chased on to the wire. FAST PRINCE raced off the pace on the inside early, came around the turn in the four path, began a bid entering the stretch and improved position in the lane. WILLING ONE bumped with the horse to his inside at the start, recovered to duel from the rail up the backstretch, saved ground around the turn, continued to duel in upper stretch and gave way late. POLIZON tracked the leader on the inside through the opening quarter, continued around the bend in the two path and was outkicked in the stretch. STRONG TEMPTATION bumped with the horses to his outside leaving the gate, raced off the pace through the opening stages, navigated the turn from the three path and passed tiring horses in the stretch. ASHRYVER bumped with the horse to his outside at the break, settled in the middle of the pack on the rail early, saved ground around the bend and showed no kick. LOVETHISBIZZ bumped with the horses to either side leaving the gate, raced off the pace on the outside up the backstretch, came around the turn in the two path and made no bid. MUSKET MAGIC stalked the leaders on the outside through the opening quarter, navigated the turn from the two path and tired in the stretch. IKNOWYOUCANWAIT raced in the middle of the pack on the outside up the backstretch, continued around the turn in the three path and faded in the lane. COUSIN VINNY bumped with the horse to his inside leaving the gate, trailed the field early, came around the turn in the three path and was empty from there.
