UNCLE HAPPY brushed leaving the gate, tracked from the two path, crept closer in the middle stages, bid three deep turning for home, dueled outside JIMMY BLUE JEANS in the final furlong and dug in to edge that rival and held TRUSTY RUSTY at bay. TRUSTY RUSTY unhurried from the far outside, settled outside rivals before moving into the two path, picked up stride on the far turn while easing over to the three path at the quarter pole, moved out further in the lane, finished gamely from outside and earned second while gaining on the winner to the wire. JIMMY BLUE JEANS was closest in pursuit in the two path, drew alongside the leader with three furlongs to go, fought head to head through the far turn, took over exiting that bend, put away inner rival but had to contend with UNCLE HAPPY to the outside, fought with that rival into deep stretch and yielded grudgingly. KERRY GOLD tracked from the rail, followed behind the top pair while moved into the two path on the far turn, had to wait when boxed in entering the stretch, gained a clear path and angled to the inside, then finished willingly to round out the superfecta. DANIEL'S MAGIC steered to the rail racing off the pace, was patiently handled through the far turn still next to the fence, angled out in upper stretch and was finally given her cue, kept trying to the wire but lacked the needed late punch. SBAGLIATO brushed with the winner leaving the gate, traveled towards the rear two wide, moved out a bit on the backstretch, came back to the two path for the far turn, spun three wide into the lane, moved out and churned on through the final fulong but needed to find more. ROYAL 'N RANDO trailed on the inside, ridden along into the far turn, moved off the fence in upper stretch and could not make an impact. SYDNEY STREET (GB) raced outside a rival at the rear, stayed two wide to the stretch, then angled out but proved no menace. LOW EXPECTATIONS hustled to the front and set the tone on the inside, came under threat at the three-eighths pole, dueled around the far turn, lost command exiting the bend and gave way in the stretch run.
