RACING COLORS was urged along on the outside then dropped back, angled in outside the five-eighths pole, dropped to the rail leaving the backstretch, saved ground early on the turn, shifted to the three path while gaining late on that bend, moved to the four path at the quarter-pole, chased the leader into the final furlong, gained to make a bid outside the sixteenth-pole, battled with the runner-up to the finish and narrowly prevailed under steady urging. EMBRACEABLE GAL broke in then brushed with a foe and was off a half-step slow, moved up under urging between foes then pressed the pace on the outside of two rivals, dropped back under urging leaving the backstretch, chased while moving a bit further behind the leader in the four path on the turn, turned into the stretch in the five path while under the drive, chased outside into the final furlong, gained to make a bid outside the sixteenth-pole, fought outside of the winner to the finish and just missed while clear for the place. TRUE EMPRESS was brushed at the start, pressed the pace on the outside of the leader, drew even with that foe late on the backstretch, took a short lead in the three path outside the three-eighths pole, moved clear at the quarter-pole then was asked, came under a right-handed crop in upper stretch, led until outside the sixteenth-pole then was headed and weakened while able to get third purse money. MITOLE'S GIRL was reluctant to load then hustled from the gate, set the pace under pressure to her outside, was urged along late on the backstretch, lost the advantage while in the two path outside the three-eighths pole, continued in the two path while vying inside of a foe through the turn, dropped back at the quarter-pole then came out into upper stretch, chased the leader into the final furlong then dropped in and tired.
