GOOD TO BE LUCKY had a narrow lead on the rail down the backstretch while inside of two others, patiently started to edge clear from the couple of early speed foes on the turn with a quarter mile to go, continued on the fence finding more when asked for run by the rider in mid-stretch and was kept busy in the late stages just fending off the late surge by the runner up at the wire. PADRAIG broke in, was then having to be taken up briefly when crowded leaving the gate, trailed the field down the back straight, started to uncork a rally three wide picking up horses at the quarter pole, swung out widest in the six path for the stretch drive and had a strong late run charging home in the late going, almost getting to the winner at the finish line outside. BEE ME was tucked in on the fence watching the engaged trio early on, sat posed behind the contesting threesome on the turn ready to make a move, shifted out off the frontrunner in the two path posing a threat by the furlong pole, could not reel in the winner who had something left in the tank and ran on willingly to the end lasting at the wire for the show money. SPEEDY CONNECTION vied between runners down the backside and throughout the turn, shifted three wide in the fray up top at the head of the lane, could not keep up to the winner who got clear by the furlong marker, dueled outside for the secondary award late but faded in deep stretch holding for a minor share in the end. GUS'S DRUMBEET had an outside position five deep in mid-division through the back straight, travelled outside of horses going three wide watching the battling trio up front on the turn, angled to the five path in with a small chance in upper stretch and ran on gradually to the finish line but could not get involved late. SOUPER VINNIE broke outwards initially then angled in leaving the gate to sit in the second flight between rivals in the two path down the back straight, remained behind the contesting trio on the turn between foes going two wide waiting to cue to go, shifted to the three path looking for a clear lane when taking the corner, moved inside a touch at the furlong marker finally getting a seam but stalled inside of runners in deep stretch. RELOADED FORM stalked close to the back just off the rail, made little progression taking the shortest way around the bend, scraped paint turning for home but failed to fire inside of runners in the last eighth of a mile. SPIKEPHIL argued for the lead on the outside three abreast down the backside, continued three wide dueling outside for the front end on the turn, moved to the four oath in upper stretch, lacked a rally in the lane and yielded to others on either side by the furlong marker. ALLBETSAREOFF was restless in the stall prior to the start, broke inwards on the break, sat three deep in the middle of the pack along the backside, was going the wrong way three wide dropping back through the field on the turn and in the three path had little to offer for the stretch run.
