CHARLIE'S EXPRESS set the pace on the inside, dueled on the turn, dug in gamely on the rail in the stretch drive, battled on to the end and was steadied nearing the finish. LEGENDARY THUNDER was bumped at the start, bid two wide on the turn, dueled, dug in gamely between rivals in the two path in the stretch, then was in tight at checked past the sixteenth marker. JASPER'S PRIDE raced off the rail, off the pace, moved up on the turn, came five wide into the lane and closed mildly. T V MAN was bumped at the start, raced off the pace inside, between rivals on the turn and lacked a rally. TOWN KISSER was outrun early and passed tired rivals. J. T.
