PIERCE ELEVATED laid off of the pace in the two path, moved out around the turn, tipped to the six path into the lane, rallied in the five path into the final furlong, bid and edged past the leader passing the sixteenth pole, then shifted inwardly while clearing at the wire. GENO'S MYTH tracked in the three path, got floated to the five path turning for home, bid while shifting inwardly and across rival's path in upper stretch, gained n an advantage coming to the furlong grounds, but was caught by an outer bidder at the sixteenth pole, then steadied inconsequentially as that one moved across his path at the wire. PENEI broke slowly, raced off of the pace in the five to six path before fanning to the seven path entering the lane, leaned in while delaying a lead change until midstretch, then ran on late to gain show in the closing stages. SPY was off slow, chased along the inside, moved out to the four path turning for home, took aim between rivals in upper stretch, but was put to crowded quarters among foes in upper stretch, recovered and kept on to bid for show along with an outer rival at the sixteenth pole but got outkicked. LE CHIFFRE brushed with an inner rival early on, pressed four deep, remained within striking range three wide entering the lane, bid and vied between horses in upper stretch, but got outkicked nearing the furlong grounds and yielded. LIVEHAPPY bobbled slightly and was bumped by an inner foe at the start, then brushed with an outer rival while prominent early on, prompted three deep into the turn, forged an advantage two wide entering the lane, but gave way to outer rivals in midstretch. BERNIEDOTT brushed the inner stall door before bumping with an inner rival at the start, raced at the rear in the four path and failed to factor. ITS PALADIN TIME broke a step slow and bumped with an outer foe at the start, lacked speed in the two path and got outrun. GENUINE STAR set the pace inside of a pair of prompters into the turn, got headed entering the lane and weakened. DON CORLEONE broke outwardly and bumped a foe at the start, then brushed with rivals on both sides early on while vying two wide and between horses, but weakened nearing the lane. THE RIDER OF GENO'S MYTH CLAIMED FOUL AGAINST PIERCE ELEVATED ALLEGING INTERFERENCE AT THE WIRE. ALSO, THE RIDER OF SPY CLAIMED FOUL AGAINST GENO'S MYTH ALLEGING INTERFERENCE IN UPPER STRETCH. BUT FOLLOWING BOTH OBJECTIONS, NO CHANGE WAS MADE TO THE ORIGINAL ORDER OF FINISH.
