BERMUDA BLITZ stalked three wide, bid turning for home, kicked clear nearing the lane, but was caught by an outer bidder leaving the furlong grounds and yielded between horses late. SOUTH BEND TOM laid off of the pace in the four path, got floated to the six path into the lane and ran on willingly.
