NOBALS had a nice set up on the rail watching the contesting pair, inched up still keeping a close eye on the embattled duo in midturn, shifted out off the leaders at the quarter pole three wide coming with a rally, had aim four wide straightening out for home, seized control under a well-timed move getting clear at the sixteenth pole and just held on from the late closing outside rivals at the finish line. LUCKY SCORE had his customary spot seeing the field in the early stages finding his stride down the backstretch, started to get into gear midway on the turn closing the gap, swung out widest in the six path having clear run in full flight, stormed home in the five path in the final furlong outside runners, drifted in driving to the finish line in deep stretch under right handed encouragement and got for the runners up share while just missing with the late surge for the victory as well. AWESOME BOURBON had a stalking trip ahead of only one runner down the backside, saved ground coming with a good rail rally on the turn by the quarter pole, was looking for a seam three wide in upper stretch, had to be throttled down losing his path at the furlong marker, relentlessly re-rallied late showing good grit, was then taken up again in tight nearing the wire with a flurry of a finish to capture the show award in the end. SOCIETY'S THUNDER settled in mid-division while in the three path along the backside, moved in closer to be on outside the eventual winner in the second flight midpoint of the turn, shifted out five wide for the stretch run gathering speed, came with a good late charge between horses in the four path in the thick of it all with a furlong remaining, was squeezed in tight quarters driving to the wire late and steadied in the final few jumps before the wire settling for a minor share in a blanket finish for the top four positions. WESTERN WHIRL bobbled slightly on the start, quickly recovered to have a slim lead inside down the back straight, maintained a narrow advantage on the rail with a pesky speed rival dueling outside on the bend, still kept his head in front skimming the fence turning for home, stubbornly battled inside rivals down the lane but could not find more in the late running and wilted by the sixteenth pole. RELOAD'S RASCAL moved well hounding the pacesetter outside down the backstretch, took even closer order forcing the issue outside throwing it down under a brisk tempo around the turn, determinedly bid between horses in the two path up top at the top of the lane, fought on until the eighth pole and folded in the late running.
