RUSSIAN TO WIN grew a bit fractious in the gate and tossed his head as the latch was sprung lunging awkwardly at the start and conceding four to five lengths to the front before being able to settle into stride, tucked to chase three wide down the backstretch before making his way to the rail into the turn, came under coaxing at the seven-sixteenths, angled out seven wide into upper stretch, rallied with good courage to issue a challenge through the final furlong taking command a sixteenth out and edged clear to the finish kept to task. VOLIERO chased briefly inside before tipping to the two path, came under coaxing along the rail three furlongs from home, angled out six wide into upper stretch, rallied to take command near the eighth pole, dug in under threat and was collared a sixteenth out, ran on to preserve the place honors. FOREVER WICKED chased two to three wide under coaxing from the seven-sixteenths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and ran on to secure the show honors. DONTBELATE vied two to three wide with a pair before emerging to duel from the two path into the turn with SPECTATORLESS to his inside, swung three wide into upper stretch, dug in under threat and yielded near the eighth pole, then weakened in the late stages. THE MET six paths off the inside down the backstretch, tucked three wide through the turn coming under coaxing at the three-eighths, went eight wide into upper stretch and weakened in the late going. SPECTATORLESS vied inside a pair down the backstretch before dueling with DONTBELATE to his outside through the turn under coaxing from the three-eighths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, then weakened in the drive. SUPER WICKED CHARM eight paths off the inside down the backstretch, tucked four wide through the turn and came under coaxing three furlongs from home, went nine wide into upper stretch and offered no response. MR. BRIGGS five paths off the inside down the backstretch, went two to three wide through the turn and then four wide into upper stretch and tired. R BOY CHEEKUM seven paths off the inside down the backstretch, went four wide through the turn coaxed along from the seven-sixteenths, tipped six wide into upper stretch and made no impact. LOADED JOE vied from the four path with a pair to his inside down the backstretch until shaken off with nine-sixteenths to run, chased in closest aim of the duel into the turn before fading under coaxing through the bend, cornered four to five wide into upper stretch and folded, then got eased home to the finish.
