HIGHWAYTOTHEMOON prompted the pace outside in the beginning, moved in to poke his head in front between horses with three furlongs still to run, battled with challengers on both sides narrowly up front around the bend, continued to be hounded by a stubborn outside rival down the stretch but had plenty in reserve late to pull away in the final sixteenth. DUCKDUCKDUCK improved steadily on the outside down the backstretch, contested outside for the lead going three wide at the three eighths marker, continued to fight on outside up top around the turn, dug in determinedly going head to head for the win in upper stretch but gave way to the winner in the final sixteenth while easily beating the rest for the runners up placing. SPEIGHTS WILL travelled three deep near the rear, rallied three wide circling foes at the three eighths pole, shifted out widest in the five path for the drive to the wire and finished up with intent on the outside of rivals to capture the show money in deep stretch. KING RONIN was on the outside tracking the front trio at the half, kept pace chasing the lead threesome through the turn, angled out three wide with a chance for a small share turning for home and finished up willingly between horses in the final eighth of a mile to garner a minor role in the end. SILENT MORT took this field down the backside while up front on the rail, dueled inside two others for the top spot around the oval, could not quicken with the front duo by the quarter pole, battled inside for a minor share down the stretch but faded in the final seventy yards. MAKING HIS MARK broke in at the start, was throttled down to be shuffled back to last coming up to the half mile marker, made little impression taking the short way around the turn, shifted to the three path at the top of the stretch and passed tired ones down the lane. QUADZILLA was brushed inside at the start, settled near the rear between foes at the half, was asked for run with five sixteenths to go, closed the gap mildly making a move at the quarter pole but yielded between foes shortening stride staying on the incorrect lead at the furlong pole. DRI SADDLE pressed the issue early on, was reined back to draft behind the lead trio at the seven sixteenths pole, was nudged for more with three eighths from home making little headway on the fence through the turn and was in tight inside foes at the furlong pole having little to give in the late running.
