PICKFORD SWEET was hard held behind the leader who was slowing the pace down into the first turn, settled into stride in midfield well in hand in range of the lead trio down the backside, waited inside foes behind the embattled duo with five sixteenths to go, found a seam and quickly shot through three wide at the top of the stretch and under a busy ride with left handed encouragement got up in the final few jumps for the win. ALL FOR HONOR went three wide on the outside of horses in midfield entering the first turn, continued on circling rivals through the initial bend to prompt the pace three deep down the backside, rallied to poke her head in front midpoint of the final turn, stubbornly kept digging in with the winner bearing down through the lane and gave way grudgingly inside in the last few jumps before the wire to settle for the runners up share instead. TAKE CHANCES was situated between runners in the middle of the pack in the early stages, settled in the second flight watching the front trio at the half, could not quicken with rivals when in tight at the three furlong pole to be shuffled back on the far turn, swung out six wide for the drive, could not get to the front duo down the stretch but did fight on determinedly to win the show money outside in the final seventy yards. SERENADING AMAYA hounded the pace outside on the first of two turns, continued vying up front with horses on both sides down the backstretch, was asked for more trying to hold position at the three furlong pole keeping a close eye on the contesting duo on the second turn, shifted four wide in the hunt in upper stretch, exchanged bumps with the outside rival a furlong from home and finished up with interest to be a fringe player at the wire. POWAQA was unhurried being at the rear in the early stages, moved in three deep outside foes at the half, travelled three wide on the far turn in the second flight holding her own around the far turn, angled out five wide still in the mix at the top of the lane, exchanged bumps with the inside runner when between horses dueling for the show award at the furlong marker and weakened in deep stretch. SPIRIT O'TIPPERARY was hustled from the outside post clearing to lead on the rail while gearing down bunching up the field going into the first turn, narrowly had the front inside under a snug hold setting a dawdling pace along the backside, was under a vigorous ride trying to keep her head in front with outside rivals moving in at the five sixteenths pole, gave way inside with a quarter mile to run and had little to offer three wide in the stretch drive.
