IRON PYRITE tracked the leader three deep along the backside, edged nearer, measuring the pacesetter throughout the turn, grinded away three wide down the lane taking the lead over by the sixteenth pole and stubbornly held safely from the closing foe in deep stretch. GENIUS OF LOVE stalked on the rail in the group of three at the rear along the backside, was checked on the fence at the half, dropped back to last entering the turn, made a sharp move passing foes from the rail shifting out four wide at the quarter pole gathering momentum and in the six path down the stretch was closing in, moving to the winner late but could not get there in time. SPEEDY FREEZE settled between rivals in the last group down the backstretch, kept pace three wide in the third flight around the turn, was floated out six wide by the quarter pole, shifted back in to the four path in mid-stretch and got up in the final furlong to close in capturing third money. WILDFIRE became headstrong when in tight behind and between horses in the two path at the half having to be checked for moment, came with a good run shifting off the fence midway around the bend, angled four wide to be in range in early stretch and finished up gradually between foes to be a fringe player in the end. CHIPOTLE PEPPER emerged from the early scramble up top to have a clear lead on the rail by the five eighths marker, was unchallenged quickening the tempo through the turn, still was holding on to the lead but by a diminishing margin at the furlong pole and emptied out by the seventy yard marker losing many positions late when being engulfed by outside rivals in deep stretch. ROCKET RILEY co-trailed three deep on the outside down the back straight, made no impact outside a runner two wide around the turn, and had to little to show driving in the four path down the stretch. RED MOOD was under a snug hold sitting behind the pacesetter, chased the frontrunner two wide around the turn, had nothing left by the quarter pole and retreated in upper stretch. JUST ON TIME travelled between horses in mid-division down the backside, regressed with runners on either side through the turn to be at the rear by the quarter pole and had no finish to offer in the stretch running.
