NO POKING AROUND stepped to the front and took control of the rail, got pressured from outside in the middle stages, shook free with a quarter mile remaining, led clear to midstretch, confronted by the runner-up past the sixteenth pole and narrowly held. FAIRLYFONDOFYOU tracked two wide around the first turn, went between rivals into the second bend, found the rail once more past the quarter pole, tipped out at the top of the lane, latched onto the leader past the sixteenth pole and just missed. SPEED OF ELON got bumped repeatedly and steadied early, pulled along the inside in mid-pack, bumped with outer rival into the far turn, lacked room from the five-sixteenths pole to the quarter pole, tipped two wide into the clear, moved back inside and rallied up the fence to finish a game third. UNCLE EVCO unhurried in the two path, gained up the backstretch, bumped with SPEED OF ELON into the far turn, chased two then three wide to the stretch, tipped out into the lane and summoned a mild rally to round out the superfecta. GRAY THUNDER off slow to begin, trailed three then two wide around the clubhouse turn, had one rival beat leaving the backstretch, altered out from behind a trouble rival at the three-eighths pole, moved back in some then angled out and came four wide into the lane, moved out further and improved position. RIDING BY stalked in the three path, remained three wide on the second bend and flattened out in the stretch run. SIR NANO settled three then two wide early, steadied behind a pair of rivals into the far turn, angled in then steered three wide, found the rail in the stretch but lacked a rally. FALCON WINGS stalked in the two path, applied pressure to the leader from outside on the backstretch, could not keep up at the quarter pole and weakened down the lane. WARREN'S C J bumped repeatedly with inner rival early, moved to the inside chasing well off the pace, trailed into the far turn, went two wide into the lane and was never a factor. DON'T HAVE ANOTHER brushed with outer rival early, stalked from inside, saved ground to the stretch and faded. EXALTED RULER steadied between rivals early, moved into the two path then found the rail traveling near the back, took a bad step past the five-eighths pole and pulled up, then was transported off the track via equine ambulance.
