DIVINE LEADER coaxed from the gate, cut the pace in hand just off the inside patiently handled until placed to coaxing nearing the quarter pole, spun three wide into upper stretch, edged away to the eighth pole, dug in and held well to prevail. FUNNY JOKE coaxed from the start, chased along the inside under a ride from the five-sixteenths, angled four wide into upper stretch, offered up a mild kick. HIGH TIDE broke in at the start and was briefly behind BEACHWALKER, came under hustling and chased four paths off the inside down the backstretch and then just off the inside through the turn coaxed along from the seven-sixteenths, angled six wide into upper stretch, offered up a mild kick. BOLD VICTORY coaxed from the gate, chased three then two wide from near the rear of the field, came under encouragement at the three-eighths marker, angled four wide into upper stretch and offered up late foot. BEACHWALKER chased just off the inside under urging from three furlongs out, tipped three wide into upper stretch, improved position kicking on belatedly to the end. SUERTE veered out at the start bumping WINE RESPONSIBLY into HONORARY DEGREE, chased three wide under a ride from the three-eighths pole, angled five wide for home and weakened. WINE RESPONSIBLY broke in and got carried out and then bumped by SUERTE, who veered out, and in turn bumped HONORARY DEGREE, chased five to six paths off the inside early on before tucking four wide through the turn, went six to seven wide into upper stretch, offered no response. HONORARY DEGREE got bumped at the start by the aforementioned foe due to pressure from SUERTE veering out, chased seven to eight paths off the inside early on before tucking five then four wide near the turn, tucked three wide through that bend and came under urging midway, angled five wide into upper stretch and tired.
