VERITAS AEQUITAS unhurried away from the start, settled three wide into the first turn, improved position along the backstretch run, tracked the modest pace outside of rivals heading to the half-mile pole, navigated traffic into the far turn and was roused three wide at the quarter pole, loomed into upper stretch and drew to even terms with BIG BET, battled that rival past the furlong pole and dueled into the final sixteenth, took a narrow lead in deep stretch and held at the wire for a determined win. BIG BET away in good order, was hustled leaving the start and vied for the lead approaching the first turn, assumed command and set a modest pace into the backstretch run, contested the pace with DEO nearing the half-mile marker, battled that runner into the second turn and took a narrow lead at the quarter pole, led into upper stretch and met the bid of VERITAS AEQUITAS nearing the furlong marker, battled inside of that runner into the final sixteenth, was gamely bested in deep stretch and was well clear of the rest for second.
