MAD WORLD shared the rear outside another for the first half, made little progression finding his stride three wide on the far turn, swung out widest in the five path in upper stretch gathering speed and stormed on past in the final sixteenth of a mile to win drawing away with a late turn of foot. APELDOORN had a slim lead two wide on the initial turn, moved to the rail having a chasing role inside the new pacesetter down the back straight, regained the top spot at the three furling marker, shifting to the two path clinging onto the front narrowly in upper stretch, kept fighting to the end but had no answer when the outside winner swept past late and still dug in to best the rest for the runners up share at the wire. GELATO co-trailed on the inside, closed the gap on the pacesetter by the half, took the short way around the turn making little headway, angled out three wide behind the dueling leaders at the top of the stretch, moved out to the five path finally having a clear lane at the sixteenth pole and surged late to get the show money at the finish line. STRUCK GOLD was rank fighting the rider while forcing the issue on the fence around the first bend, assumed control in the two path down the backstretch, relinquished the front end to an outside rival at the three eighths marker, dueled determinedly three wide up top in upper stretch but had left for the late stages and faded by the sixteenth pole. ERIE SHORES bobbled on the break, settled in midfield between runners for the most part of the race, was roused still keeping pace with the leaders at the five sixteenths pole, moved to the rail for the drive to the wire but lacked a finishing rally inside horses in the final furlong. VALLEY OF KINGS tracked the front duo three wide on the first to two turns, travelled three deep watching the engaged twosome outside down the backstretch, remained three wide when asked for more run on the far turn at the quarter pole, took closer order in the thick of things in the four path turning for home but had no finish to offer in the final furlong.
