SMART STRIKER raced at the back of the pack in the three path through the opening half mile, saved ground around the second turn, launched a bid entering the stretch and gained ground late, edging clear and holding off a closer to the wire. SPANISH NOBLE raced in the two path around the first turn, settled off the pace on the inside for the run up the backstretch, began a bid from the rail coming around the second turn, veered out in upper stretch, straightened out and gained ground late from there to just miss. JOURNEYMAN raced in the middle of the pack on the inside through the opening half mile, continued around the far turn in the three path, began a bid passing the quarter pole and gained ground late. LORD KNOWS saved ground around the first bend, led the way on the inside up the backstretch, continued to save ground around the second bend, dueled in upper stretch and gave way late. UNCLE TRULY raced in the three path early, settled off the pace between horses for the run up the backstretch, navigated the far turn still in the three path and never threatened. COACHES MEETING raced in the four path around the first turn, settled off the pace on the outside for the run up the backstretch, saved ground around the far turn and made no bid. TORO FORWARD raced in the two path around the first turn, settled in the middle of the pack on the outside for the run up the backstretch, came around the far turn in the four path and was empty in the stretch. MR CROWLEY saved ground early, chased the leader up the backstretch, continued around the second turn in the three path and tired in the lane. DRAMA CHORUS raced in the two path around the first bend, trailed well behind the field racing up the backstretch, saved ground around the second turn and was never a factor. ARJAY raced in the two path around the first turn, pressed the pace on the outside up the backstretch, dropped back while racing in the two path around the far turn and continued to tire from there.
