AMERICAN WOMEN rated kindly in midfield between horses down the backside, patiently waited behind runners from the five sixteenths pole to the quarter marker, shot through finding a seam three wide at the top of the stretch having aim on the pacesetter, was full of run late and drove by taking the lead at the sixteenth pole outside to win going away at the finish line. HOME FOR A REST stalked on the rail near the back end, crept up taking the short way around in hand midway on the turn, shifted out off a tiring foe two wide at the quarter pole, had a good late run in the three path down the stretch drive and with one final push, surged between rivals nabbing the place share right at the wire. SALT stalked four deep ahead of only one runner in the early going, started to come with a run four wide outside rivals at the five sixteenths pole, swooped around foes with a sharp turn of foot at the quarter pole to be eight wide with a full head of steam turning for home, was gaining steadily outside foes down the stretch but just missed in a three way finish for the runners up share at the wire settling for the show money instead. GIVE ME THE BOOTS dueled inside at the beginning for the top spot, edged away for a clear advantage on the fence at the half, opened up setting a brisk pace in midturn, still was well in control just off the fence in upper stretch, had no answer when the winner sailed on by at the sixteenth pole and faded inside runners in deep stretch getting nailed late losing the place and show award right at the finish line. ANAM CARA settled close to the back of the pack between foes in the three path down the backstretch, made little headway three wide between rivals running around the turn, shifted to the four path for the drive to the wire and finished up mildly inside horses in the last eighth of a mile. TWO SIP SALLY settled four deep outside foes watching the front four runners along the backside, closed the gap outside horses five wide in midturn, briefly drifted in under a ride at the quarter pole to be in the hunt four wide in upper stretch, had little left for the stretch run and yielded by the sixteenth pole. FOURFIFTYFOUR stalled near the runners with rivals on either side, made little impression three wide between horses throughout the turn and had no rally to offer in the three path for the stretch running. SOUNDS PRACTICAL was off slowly lagging behind the group down the back straight, offered a brief rally splitting foes four wide at the quarter pole, angled to the six path between horses at the top of the stretch but had no finishing kick to give in the final furlong. TAKEMYBOURBONNEAT was under a vigorous ride early on being hustled from the start with intent on the lead, was taken back inside by the five furlong marker watching the lead pair down the backstretch, chased the leader in the two path around the turn making no gain, stopped on the fence at the furlong pole and was wrapped up on in the last sixteenth of a mile. NEVER SILENT was roused at the start to sit in mid-pack on the fence by the half, edged up on the fence saving ground on the turn while scrubbed on midway around the bend, scraped paint turning for home but folded by the furlong marker. MIRAMICHI travelled in mid-division with runners on each side at the half, kept pace three wide between horses at the five sixteenths pole, had to be checked in tight in the four path at the quarter pole and tired five wide in upper stretch. KIKITSA hounded the pace outside down the backstretch, chased the leader three wide at the three-furlong marker, backed away abruptly through the field at the quarter pole and cantered down the stretch crossing the finish line.
