MARIA CALLAS chased just off the inside coming under encouragement at the five-sixteenths, angled six wide into upper stretch, rallied to take command nearing the eighth pole, drew clear under a drive to prevail. COPPER CADUCEUS shied in at the start when INTOTHEWILDERNESS broke inwards from the outside, chased three wide coming under urging at the three-eighths, went seven wide into upper stretch, ran on to the finish. KREESA'S BEST DAY chased just off the inside under a ride from the five-sixteenths, spun three wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive and kept on to secure the show honors. INTOTHEWILDERNESS broke in at the start and was corrected, chased four paths off the inside down the backstretch before tucking inside through the turn, went eight wide at the head of the stretch and improved position to the finish. SAINT MARGARET broke in at the start bumping SASSY SATS in tandem with CRUSH, who broke outwards, dueled five then three wide with SASSY SATS to her inside coming under coaxing near the quarter pole, spun three wide into upper stretch, dug in under threat and was collared a furlong out, then weakened in the late stages. ISLAND CHARM chased three wide under a ride from three furlongs out, angled five to six wide into upper stretch, weakened in the late going.
