MO KREESA a bit rank under restraint into the first turn when allowing GENE AND JUDE to clear in front into that bend, settled attending that foe to the outside two to three wide, remained patiently handled until set down angled four wide into upper stretch, rallied to take command with about three-sixteenths to go, edged clear to inside the eighth pole, dug in and held on to prevail. UNION EXPRESS raced just off the inside through the first turn, chased three wide coming under coaxing at the three-eighths marker, angled seven wide into upper stretch and offered up a mild kick. VIA DELLA SPIGA chased just off the inside from just off the pace, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, angled six wide into upper stretch, offered up a mild kick to secure the show honors. DOOMED chased along the inside under urging from the three-eighths marker, angled four to five wide for home, offered up a mild kick. MR. MENDELSSOHN chased just off the inside and then along the inside coming under encouragement three furlongs out, spun three wide into upper stretch, offered up a mild bid but was outfinished. LANDAUER chased two to three wide, came under urging at the three-eighths pole, angled seven wide into upper stretch, kicked on belatedly to the finish but was outkicked. GENE AND JUDE coaxed from the gate, established the front when passing the wire the first time, tucked to the two path into the first turn and made his way to the inside by midway, showed the way in hand along the inside under attendance and some pressure through the presence of MO KREESA to the outside, came under coaxing just outside the quarter pole and went three wide into upper stretch roused for the drive, got collared with about three-sixteenths remaining and weakened in the late stages. MESSI THE MAGICIAN coaxed from the gate, chased along the inside coming under encouragement with five-sixteenths to go, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and weakened through to the finish.
