BROTHER TONY unhurried from inside the shifted over to the two path, moved further out on the backstretch, went our wide into the far turn, angled into the two path then steered back out while gaining through the far turn, spun five wide into the lane and summoned a mild rally for third. MELLENCAMP forwardly placed along the inside, checked behind the leader on the first turn, made an early move past the five-eighths pole, vied inside a pair of rivals into the second bend holding slim lead, dueled around the far turn, relinquished the lead at the quarter pole, fought to upper stretch and weakened in the furlong grounds.

DAY AND AGE sat off the pace two wide then moved inside, ridden along in the two path on the far turn and failed to threaten. GRINNELL hopped at bit to lose a step at the start, tracked early outside a rival, angled out to the four path around the far turn and came up empty in the lane. SPUN NOT STIRRED settled three then two wide early, raced well off the pace in the middle stages, trailed with three furlongs remaining and was done early.
