STARS AND STRIDES tucked in while taken in hand early, was rated on the inside, shifted to the three path while asked outside the quarter-pole, chased under a strong hand-ride into upper stretch then was given one pop of a left-handed crop, had the rider drop his reins near the three-sixteenths pole then lugged in and bothered an opponent, moved out while chasing the leader and attempting to gather the reins back up, made a bid outside the sixteenth-pole while able to regain some use of the right-rein, took the lead into the final sixteenth and prevailed under a hand-ride to the finish. GRIFFIN'S WHARF settled on the inside, was roused on the far turn, turned into upper stretch under a drive, chased into the final sixteenth, moved out while gaining fast late and finished well but missed while narrowly able to get the place. WINNEBAGO (IRE) broke out and brushed the gate, angled in towards the rear, rounded the first turn in the two path, settled towards the back, was roused in the two then three path on the far turn, swung out to the six path into the stretch and finished with good energy to just miss the place while narrowly able to get the show. VALUATION METRIC was taken in hand early then reserved in the two path, came under urging on the far turn, was driven into the stretch in the three path and finished willingly to just miss the show. STATES' RIGHTS broke a step slow, went around the first turn in the two then three path, settled towards the rear, was roused in the two path on the far turn, swung out to the five path into the stretch, moved further out around the three-sixteenths pole and improved with late energy. LANDING CRAFT was hustled to the front, showed the way on the inside, was given his cue on the far turn, came under a right-handed crop in upper stretch, led until the sixteenth-pole then was headed by the winner and weakened. CYCLONITE went around the first turn in the two to three path, was reserved off the pace, came under urging in the three path on the far turn, was driven into the stretch in the five path and lacked the needed response. CANDYTOWN was hustled from the gate, raced in the three path on the first turn, was rated on the outside without the benefit of cover, came under urging in the three path on the far turn, moved to the four path late on that bend, chased into upper stretch, dropped back into the final furlong and tired. INSUBORDINATION (IRE) tracked the pace on the outside in the two path, was asked on the far turn, chased into upper stretch, was carried in by the winner inside the three-sixteenths pole then checked, dropped back into the final furlong and capitulated. SOLO VENTURI hesitated and was off a bit slow, was urged along at the rear early, dropped from the three path to the two path on the first turn, lagged at the back, saved ground on the far turn and was no factor. FOLLOWING THE RACE, THE TRAINER OF GRIFFIN'S WHARF CLAIMED FOUL AGAINST THE WINNER ALLEGING INTERFERENCE IN UPPER STRETCH. THE STEWARDS' ALSO POSTED THE INQUIRY SIGN. AFTER THE STEWARDS' REVIEW, NO CHANGE WAS MADE TO THE ORDER OF FINISH
