LADIES RUM set a pokey pace on the rail with a headwind going into the first turn, dictated terms while hounded outside along the backstretch, stubbornly was holding on inside through the far turn, shifted out dueling three wide inside another in upper stretch, drifted out under the drive at the furlong marker but had more late to prevail in the gate to wire front end win. LAUGHING OUT LOUD was moving to the leader outside, three wide around foes in the first turn, shadowed the leader outside down the back straight, bid in the two path between rivals at the quarter pole putting its head in front for a stride or two, shifted to the four path turning for home, angled out further with the winner drifting out slightly in mid-stretch but could not threaten in the late stages for the win. CANDID CANDACE sat just off the fence watching the contesting trio on the first bend, edged up inside rivals down the backside, was roused on the far turn trying to keep pace with the leaders and finished up willingly on the fence with a furlong from home just losing the nod for second money at the wire. KEY STROKE stalked on the outside near the rear, closed the gap three deep on the outside down the backstretch, moved in to bid up top three wide outside with three furlongs left to run, was scrubbed on for more but could not hold position with a quarter mile remaining and finished up gradually in the two path between foes late to settle on the fringes. GHOSTLY PERFECTION settled on the inside at the back of the pack, lagged behind rivals midway along the backstretch still in touch with the field, shifted out at the seven sixteenths marker having no room to the inside to offer a rally, picked up the bit smartly going four wide around foes in the final bend, loomed in the six path at the top of the lane, could not sustain the run, shifted inwards at the eighth pole to be three wide between horses and finished up one paced while not beaten all that far for the runners up share in the end. GABBY SQUARED was under a snug hold tracking the pacesetter in the two path on the initial turn, was in tight quarters leaving the midway point of the first turn having to be snatched up, eased entering the backstretch and left via equine ambulance. RIDERS CLAIM OF FOUL #7 LAUGHING OUT LOUD AGAINST #1 LADIES RUM IN THE VICINITY OF THE FURLONG POLE WAS DISALLOWED
