EMPIRE'S BEST prompted two wide and between horses, vied in the three path around the turn, led at the quarter pole, inched clear in the final furlong and held sway. NOBLE JON tracked in the three path and between horses, shifted out to the six path in midstretch, rallied while hanging on his left lead and gained place at the wire. LOOKING GOOD LEWIS tracked from the four to five path, ran on while hanging on his left lead to edge place at the sixteenth pole but got nailed by an outer bidder at the wire. CUT GLASS pressed the top pair from the four path, vied nearing the lane, chased between horses into the final furlong and yielded. MORE THAN FIVE lacked speed in the three to four path then ran on belatedly. UNWORKABLE set the pace inside of a pair of prompters, got headed with a quarter mile to go and faded. LILTONYTWOPHONES raced forwardly along the inside, chased in the two to three path into the lane, then lacked a bid. SWAYBACK JACK saved ground in midpack and lacked a bid. ILLINI pursued from the four path, got floated out to the seven path in midstretch and gave way while hanging on his left lead. GRIMES raced off of the pace in the three path and failed to factor. ENGLISH TIDE fidgeted just before the gates sprung and broke multiple lengths slow, saved ground off of the pace and failed to factor. HOWDOYALIKEMENOW trailed in the four to five path and got outrun.
