SIERRA LEONE allowed to settle outside rivals well off the pace, rounded the first turn three to four wide, drew closer three deep on the backstretch, rallied five wide around the far turn, took over while battling three deep into the lane, held a short lead over FIERCENESS into deep stretch and drew clear late. FIERCENESS raced up close from between early, stalked three deep around the clubhouse turn, drew alongside the leader at the half-mile pole, took over with three furlongs remaining, cleared at the five-sixteenths marker, challenged by a pair of rivals with a quarter mile remaining, lost command into the stretch, fought back inside SIERRA LEONE to the sixteenth pole and yielded late. FOREVER YOUNG (JPN) hustled from the gate and was prominent early from inside, went between rivals and bumped with ARTHUR'S RIDE at the five-sixteenths pole, tipped out in the lane, then started to drifted out and was along for the show honors. NEWGATE tracked three wide early, went three then four deep on the far turn, bid between rivals past the quarter pole, could not match strides with the top pair in the lane and flattened to fourth. SENOR BUSCADOR bumped leaving the gate, traveled two wide early, inside rivals on the backstretch, made progress around the far turn, tipped out into the lane and kept on but needed to find more late. TAPIT TRICE allowed to settle at the back, trailed two wide early, raced between rivals into the far turn, angled four wide around that bend and failed to threaten. PYRENEES sat well off the pace in the two path, chased between foes on the backstretch, steadied at the three-eighths pole, angled out to the five path and lacked further response. CITY OF TROY traveled three wide in the second flight, between into the backstretch, coaxed along off the rail to the far turn, navigated the far turn four then five wide, came out further in the drive and failed to rally. HIGHLAND FALLS had early speed between rivals then chased first time crossing the finish line, tracked out of range two wide on the first turn, ridden along up the backstretch, went three then four wide on the second bend and weakened down the lane. USHBA TESORO (JPN) got crowded between rivals early, raced inside at the back, ridden along through the far turn but failed to be a factor. MIXTO showed early speed then chased between rivals in the two path, coaxed along up the backstretch, weakened two then three wide on the far turn and tired in the lane. ARTHUR'S RIDE showed speed six deep then stalked in the four path around the clubhouse turn, asked three deep while getting bumped at the five-sixteenths pole and came up empty in the lane. DERMA SOTOGAKE (JPN) broke in and bumped, went up to take control from rivals on both sides, moved over to the rail into the first turn, took pressure at the half-mile pole, lost command with three-eighths remaining, dropped back around the bend and gave way. NEXT settled outside a rival, dropped further back on the backstretch, went three deep into the far turn, trailed four wide into the lane, tired and eased in the stretch and walked off.
