GUS'S DRUMBEET broke sharp loose on the lead down the backside, set an even pace while having mild pressure on the outside in midturn, spurted away when called upon for more in upper stretch and was kept to the task late to hold safe for the front running score. FOG D'ORO had a tracking position in the middle of the pack while on the fence following the leader down the backside, was urged for more around the bend but could not close in on the engaged duo by the quarter pole, moved out slightly to the two path straightening out for home, found his best stride late and closed in smartly in deep stretch on the rail to be second best. BEE ME settled in the second flight inside another foe in the beginning, chased the frontrunner on the turn making gains by the quarter pole, could not quicken with the winner while going four wide in upper stretch and faded slightly in the late going lasting for the show money at the wire. PRINCE ALMASTY had a stalking trip near the rear early on, began to lengthen stride midpoint of the turn in the two path between foes, angled to be four wide at the head of the lane and won the battle outside to settle on the fringes in the end. BETTERMUSTCOME was checked in tight between foes entering the backstretch, trailed the fields by the half, took the short way around, inching up through the oval, skimmed the fence improving turning for home and finished up willingly but lost the duel inside for a minor placing. WAITINGFORAHOLIDAY was bumped on the inside leaving the chute, stalked four deep near the rear along the backstretch, travelled four wide throughout the turn under a vigorous ride making little headway, swung out widest in the six path at the top of the lane but had nothing left for the stretch drive. SILENT MORT settled outside another in midfield, regressed in the three path with rivals on each side at the five sixteenths pole and emptied out three wide in upper stretch.
