SILENT MIRACLE pressed the pace inside to begin, began to inch away up top by the half on the rail, gave way to an outside rival for the lead with a quarter mile to run, resurged in the three path at the furlong pole and drifted out in the late stages, driving to the line to just hold on for the win from a closing in runner. BLUE MAX broke out on the start, rated kindly when three deep outside foes stalking near the back, commenced a rally, circling three wide outside, moving well around rivals in the turn, loomed boldly in the six path for the drive, battled throughout the stretch with the winner but was denied at the finish line. LONG POND tracked four deep outside foes down the backstretch, closed in to prompt three wide through the turn, poked his head in front at the quarter pole for a moment, relinquished the lead between horses in the five path by mid-stretch while running on the wrong lead to the wire and determinedly saved the show award when crossing the finish line. DRAGON'S BREW sat alone, watching the contesting duo early on, lost some positioning to track the top trio while between rivals with three furlongs to go, sat behind the leaders in the four path at the top of the lane, appeared to be stalling in upper stretch and found another gear late to close in right at the line for a minor role. HIGHLAND SOCIETY was away alertly to have a slim lead at the start, vied between runners in the two path down the backstretch and throughout the turn, continued to duel for a placing three wide with rivals on both sides down the lane but faded in deep stretch, losing a placing right at the wire. KID FORESTER stalked outside, having one rival beaten down the backstretch, began to pass horses outside midpoint on the turn, angled to be five wide when straightening out for home, shifted back inwards in the two path with a furlong to go and had good late energy in deep stretch. RACE FOR PINKS travelled on the rail in mid-pack, sat behind the winner, a few lengths back on the fence around the turn, was in range for a piece of the prize while inside on the rail turning for home but tired at the sixteenth pole. FORESTER HUMOR settled in midfield while two wide between foes down the backside, was shuffled back three eighths from home, losing momentum around the bend and had little to show for in the stretch drive. LENNY K trailed the field on the rail along the backside, was roused for more on the fence three furlongs out, offered little response around the turn and could not be a presence three wide for the stretch drive.
