AFTER A JOCLEY OBJECTION AND STEWWARTS INQUIRYCHIEF ALPHA WAS DETRMINED TO HACE INTERFERRED WITH ANOTHER RIVALS FORWARD PROGRESS AND WAS DISQUALIFIED AND PLACED THIRD. DARE TO FAIL was well off of the pace early, raced in the four path, launched a bid at the half mile pole, improved position, circled the field through the turn, shifted out into the seven path in the upper stretch, was cued and responded beautifully finding his best stride closing down the stretch, was quickly closing in on the leader but ran out of room just missing. DARE TO FAIL WAS PLACED FIIRST AFTER A STEWARTS REVIEW. BOSSHOG THEM DUKES was off of the pace early, raced in the three path, improved position, launched a bid at the half mile marker, smartly saved ground, gained ground through the turn, shifted into the three path near the quarter pole and weaved through horses gaining momentum, closed down the stretch with a full head of steam, was positioned to split rivals and challenge for the lead but had an another rival drift into his path and had to change paths creating a zig zag effect, dropped into the rail to find running room but ran out of time and settled for third. AFTER A JOCKEY CLAIM OF FOUL THERE WAS AN INQUIRY AND BOSSHOG THEM DUKE WAS PLACED SECOND. LI MU BAI (IRE) raced in the middle of the field in the three path, worked in company with another foe, shifted into the four path and passed horsed in the turn, was four wide in the stretch and closing, was with in striking distance then gave way late. ELUSIVE D'ORO raced in the middle of the pack, in the three path, slowly advanced, was asked f or more in the stretch but had no rally. DECLARE WAR was off slow, settled in hands off of the pace, found his stride and gained ground steadily, went widest in the turn andclosed in the stretch in the six path but to no avail. MAJOR DEAL stalked the front runner from the thee path, maintained position then tired after the quarter, briefly had the lead then tired. SHADY GRADY stalked the p[ace from the two path, circled the filed in the four path then mildly closed in the lane. OBVIOUSLY TOO vied for the lead, raced on the rail, set the pace with another rival pressuring on his outside, tired late.
