EMPTY GESTURE was unhurried co-trailing on the inside down the backstretch, shifted out mounting a rally at the five sixteenths pole, swung out widest with a full head of steam in the five path in upper stretch having aim on the lead trio and surged outside picking up rivals one by one to the wire and under a well-timed stretch rally got up for the win in the final jump. OL' BLONDIE had a nice set-up all alone watching the contesting twosome, edged up just off the fence to the lead pair on the turn, shifted out four wide straightening out for the drive to pose a threat by the furlong marker, seized control between foes with a sixteenth from the wire but could not fend of the late charge by the winner just getting nabbed at the finish line for the win. SOUPER SUNDAY shadowed the pace on the outside in the early going, dueled determinedly outside around the turn, dug in by mid-stretch to poke her head in front briefly between horses with a furlong from home but was no match for the closing in outside rivals in the final sixteenth of a mile and comfortably held for the show prize in the end. FOREST B had a slim lead inside down the back straight, battled stubbornly inside through the running around the bend, narrowly still had the lead inside at the top on the stretch in the two path, could not continue on with the outside rivals charging late and faded in the final eighth of mile to settle on the fringes. I'M INTO MISCHIEF co-trailed on the outside in the early going down the backstretch, was hard ridden outside another but was backing up midway on the turn, shifted out four wide for the stretch drive, was eased up by the furlong pole and left via equine ambulance.
