MISCHIEF'S THIRSTY a bit slow into stride away from the start, settled while saving ground into the first turn, maintained an inside path through the backstretch run, saved all of the ground to the far turn, was roused at the three furlong marker and loomed at the quarter pole, vied for the lead into upper stretch, took a narrow advantage at the eighth pole, repelled UNCLE WALT into the final sixteenth and edged clear in deep stretch. UNCLE WALT forwardly placed into the first turn, stalked the modest pace inside of runners along the backstretch, shifted to the outside at the half-mile marker, loomed three to four wide at the quarter pole, vied for the lead into upper stretch and led at the three-sixteenths, lost the lead at the furlong pole but battled on past mid-stretch, was repelled in the final sixteenth and was a clear second. EDDIE'S WAVE prominent away from the start, stalked the early pace outside of BIG STICK, prompted that rival through modest fractions into the backstretch run, pressed two to three wide into the far turn, vied for the lead between rivals nearing the quarter pole, was outkicked into the stretch, stayed on in the late stages and was clear in the end for third. BIG STICK sent to assume early command, showed the way into the first turn, set the pace off of the rail into the backstretch run, carved out modest fractions while prompted to the half-mile marker, dug in and led into the far turn, was overtaken into upper stretch and faded in the final furlong. LIBERTY WOLF settled off of the early pace, went three wide into the first turn, unhurried through the backstretch run while not far back, chased three wide into the far turn and could not muster a late response. MAJOR PAYNE allowed to settle while never far back, tracked the early pace three wide into the first turn, chased the modest pace between rivals along the backstretch run, ran in pursuit into the far turn, lost position at the quarter pole and gave way in the stretch.
