MENDELS MATE stalked in the three to two path, bid outside of the leader at the quarter pole, drove clear in midstretch then held sway. QUESTION ANSWERED tracked along the inside, pursued in the two to three path into the final furlong, rallied with a late kick but needed more to reel in the leader. MAXIMUS PRIME bumped an inner foe at th start, settled off of the pace in the two path, checked when blocked behind foes in the four path nearing the lane, shifted inwardly entering it, brushed and outer foe while splitting rivals at the furlong grounds and rallied. SILVER SNIPER set a clear pace, got collared by an outer bidder at the quarter pole, then yielded whlie hanging on his left lead. BHATIA pursued from the three to four path, brushed by an inner foe in midstretch and stayed on mildly. LIGHT CAV raced forwardly two wide and between horses, got rank around the first turn then gave way rounding the far turn. JOIN was bumped between horses at the start, lacked speed two wide and failed to menace. AL AMJAAD raced well back in the four path and failed to factor. SECTION broke outwardly and bumped a foe at the start, settled along the inside, took the far turn in the four to six path and failed to factor. MAC GOWAN hopped at the start and was off slow, steadied shortly after, trailed in the five to four path, fanned to the seven path into the lane and made little impact. MAGAMAK tracked in the four to three path then weakened between horses at the quarter pole. PENN STAR was brushed between horses soon after the start, raced off of the pace along the inside, then faded in the three path and between horses rounding the far turn.
