MOTION N MISCHIEF broke sharp for an easy early lead, contently let the inside runner who was being hustled take over control when entering the backstretch, was forced to move in between runners when the headstrong outside rival prompted the issue at the half, hounded the pacesetter around the turn getting on even terms by the quarter pole, drove by outside in an instant with just a shake of the lines by the rider in upper stretch and was much the best overpowering the field pulling away in the last furlong. TAILGATE hopped slightly leaving the gate, then veered to the outside entering the backside trailing the field, became very eager outside foes running off with the rider advancing sharply by the half, started to relax somewhat settling into stride three wide keeping pace with the lead pair around the bend, remained in the three path in the mix at the top of the lane, never switched leads running greenly down the stretch well back of the winner at the furlong marker but still finished up strongly to easily best the rest for the runners up share. SIGN THE PAPERS was roused on the fence taking the lead heading into the backstretch, controlled the pace while shadowed outside through the turn, was collared by the eventual winner at the quarter pole, offered no resistance surrendering the top spot turning for home and faded on the fence in the final furlong holding for the show award with the group very strung out when crossing the finish line. G NOTE JEFF broke with the group at the start, dropped back to last midway along the backside, lagged well behind being ridden for more by the half, was a long last under a drive throughout the bend, shifted out widest in the five path showing good late energy and passed a couple of tired inside foes in the stretch running. FINAL SCRIPT was fractious in the stall prior to the start, settled near the rear on the fence into the backstretch, closed the gap at the half, was coaxed for more at the three eighths pole but was making no headway saving all the ground around the turn, skimmed the fence well back of the top three runners at the top of the stretch but weakened in the final furlong. WRITTEN RECORD travelled three deep in mid-pack initially, had to be wrangled back eager in tight behind and between runners at the nine sixteenths pole when an outside rival was rushing on by, was scrubbed on for more two wide spinning his wheel on the turn by the quarter pole and came up empty in the three path turning for home.
