HULLABALOO cleared to take the field into the first turn, continued setting the pace comfortably up front at the half, was unchallenged throughout the second turn, was headed outside turning for home and found more in the final eighth to prevail at the end. GROOM LAKE tossed his head when rating between rivals under the wire for the first time, tracked nicely behind the leader at the half on the rail, shifted out to challenge for the lead splitting foes at the top of the lane but could not get past a stubborn frontrunner down the stretch. ROBITAILLE brushed the gate at the break, had a good spot all alone watching the top three leaders down the back straight, took closer through the far turn to be involved at the quarter pole for a share and offered a good finish to hold for a non threaten third in the end. KODIAK MAMBA (IRE) settled in the middle of the field down the backstretch, started to gain on rivals when asked with three eighths remaining, continued to pick up the pace in mid stretch, drifted inwards between foes nearing the sixteenth pole when urged right handed and settled for a small share in the end. NIKKI NOOTS was situated near the rear three deep on the first turn, could see the field down the backstretch, saved all the ground on the final turn, began to advance on the fence in upper stretch, was steadied on the rail inside the sixteenth marker and could not recover in time. SOCIAL JUSTICE was squeezed soon after the start trailing into the first turn, was asked on the fence midpoint on the far turn, rallied some five wide turning for home but could not make any impression running to the finish. GRAND GIZMO prompted the pace three wide entering the first turn, chased the frontrunning winner down the backside, was in the mix for a piece of the prize four wide turning for home and gave way in the final furlong. MISTER MESEEKS stalked four wide outside rivals near the back into the first turn, was ridden three wide with three furlongs to go, put in a mild run on the final turn and had nothing to give in the stretch drive. COACH ABERNATHY stalked near the back of the pack running three wide between foes into the turn, was urged left handed at the seven sixteenths marker, offered little response, backed through the field on the far turn and was not persevered with galloping to the wire. STEWARDS INQUIRY REGARDING #1 KODIAK MAMBA AND #9 NIKKI NOOTS INSIDE THE SIXTEENTH POLE RESULTED IN #1 KODIAK MAMBA WHO FINISHED FOURTH WAS DISQUALIFIED AND PLACED FIFTH FOR INTERFERENCE
