GONE DREAMING, urged inside a rival disputing the pace through the backstretch into the turn, edged forward to a brief advantage nearing upper stretch but proved no match for the winner while holding grudgingly for the place honors.

LADY MIDAS, off last, was taken up nearing the five furlong marker avoiding a fallen rival and trailed the field to the stretch.
