EXUDE settled close to the back on the outside, ranged up, progressing between rivals at the half, rally sharply when called upon four wide at the five sixteenths pole outside foes, shifted to the six path full of run at the top of the stretch, drove by taking control by the furlong pole and was kept to the task late holding sway at the wire for the win. WELLER GREEN shared the rear inside another early on, stalked, ahead of only one runner with a half mile still to run, had a quick turn of foot when called upon at the quarter pole making a rally, was stuck behind a wall of runners going five wide at the top of the lane, had a clear run with a furlong to go and ran on smartly chasing the winner home to be second best at the finish line. DECADENT DANISH was under a tight hold in mid-division on the fence, started to come with a good run on the rail midway around the final turn, had to tap on the brakes on the fence when stuck behind the tiring early leader in upper stretch, shifted outside coming to the eighth pole, darted back inside on the rail with a sixteenth from home and got up late for the show money. BOWMAN'S RUN had a good spot on the fence watching the contesting trio for the first part of this route race, sat poised looking for a seam on the far turn behind the lead pair at the quarter pole, had a clear lane shifting to the four path turning for home, rallied at the eighth pole but was outkicked late losing a couple of positions nearing the wire and settled on the fringes in the end. RUNNER EYES was steadied sharply going under the wire for the very first time, recovered smartly to sit in midfield on the outside through the first bend, edged up some along the backside, tracked in the third tier with rivals on either side around the last turn, angled to the five path at the top of the stretch and showed good tenacity between horses fighting until the very end but was on the losing side of a three way photo for the show award. ITS IN THE CARDS co-trailed on the outside, advanced four deep outside of rivals down the back straight, tried to circle foes going four wide around the far turn, swung out widest to the seven path for the drive and finished gradually outside of horses in the final furlong. SEMPER LIBER had the rail sitting in midfield on the first turn, settled near the rear angling inwards to the fence when entering the back straight, dropped back a touch by the half, was slightly checked for a stride or two being shuffled inside at the five sixteenths pole, shifted to the two path straightening out for home but lacked sufficient running room unable to get fully into gear stuck behind foes in mid-stretch. IMYOURMEDICINEMAN had a tracking position just off the rail to begin, vied between runners taking closer order down the backside by the half, got a head in front between foes with five sixteenths from home, dueled three wide straightening out for the drive with the early leader still trying to come back on inside, drifted in slightly under a drive at the furlong pole battling in the mix up top but had little left late and tired in the final sixteenth of a mile. CONNOR was eager on the outside going three wide on the first turn chasing the pace, moved closer to prompt the issue three deep down the backside, was under a busy ride three wide still trying to keep up with the lead pair on the far turn at the quarter pole, shifted to the five path at the head of the lane but folded between horses in the final furlong. LONNY'S GAMBLE had a stalking position on the rail ahead of a couple of runners to begin, was checked on the rail coming to a halt when in tight with outside horses coming over early on down the backstretch, trailed the field by the half, lagged behind on the far turn, shifted out seven wide at the top of the stretch but did manage to pass another trouble runner in the late going. DRAW BOOT crossed over clearing to the rail setting a lively pace heading into the first turn, slowed the tempo down with the wind his back having a slim advantage inside a couple of rivals down the backstretch, was collared outside midway on the far turn, weakened in the two path in upper stretch relinquishing the lead, had to be steadied in tight on the fence at the furlong pole losing all action and dropped back through the field quickly thereafter. RIDERS CLAIM OF FOUL #8 DRAW BOOT AGAINST #6 DECADENT DANISH IN MID-STRETCH PLUS A STEWARDS INQUIRY DOWN THE LANE AS WELL RESULTED IN NO CHANGE
