ADVENTURIST dropped from the four path to the three path early on the first turn, tracked the pace on the outside, chased in the three then four path on the far turn, pursued the leader under a drive into the final furlong, gained to make a bid outside the sixteenth-pole, fought with the runner-up late and narrowly prevailed under strong urging. BARON OF SEALAND dropped from the two path to the inside early on the first turn, was placed under a vigorous hold while keen behind horses on that bend then rated off the pace, came under urging leaving the backstretch, moved from the rail to the two path early on the far turn, chased inside the winner into the final furlong, gained to make a bid outside the sixteenth-pole, fought on well to the finish and just missed while clear for second. AWESOME EMPIRE went to the front, was well rated while setting the pace on the inside, controlled the action through the far turn, was asked at the quarter-pole then came under the crop in upper stretch, led until the sixteenth-pole then was overtaken by the top two while well clear for the show. LANDAUER shifted from the two path to the three path early on the first turn, settled outside near the back, was urged along late on the backstretch, went around the far turn in the four to five path and lacked the needed response. LOU moved from the rail to the two path early on the first turn, was hard held going around that bend, settled at the rear, was urged along late on the backstretch, saved ground on the far turn and failed to respond. BLAME IT ON DADDY established a forward position early, dropped from the three path to the two path early on the first turn, stalked the pace on the outside, was urged along late on the backstretch, came up empty in the three path on the far turn, spun into the stretch in the five path and retreated then was eased but walked off.
