TEMERAIRE steadied between horses early on, saved ground off of the pace, swung out to the six path into upper stretch, rallied to reach place at the sixteenth pole and was gaining on the clear leader late.

BOHEMIAN laid off of the pace in the two path, swung out to the eight path into the lane, ran on to bid for show along with an inner foe in the final sixteenth but missed. ATHENIX set the pace as the eventual winner applied outer pressure, proved no match for that one while well clear of the rest in midstretch but weakened through the final furlong. A.
