MY KINDA DEAL dueled for the lead while inside, was in a long drive and dug in gamely but weakened in late stretch and held the place safe. POPA'S PRIDE stalked the pace while three wide into the turn, rallied strongly to take command in mid stretch but could not last in deep stretch. RUNNING PRODUCTION chased the early pace while three wide into the turn, was shuffled back near the top of the stretch, rallied and angled out to be seven wide in late stretch and was gaining ground strongly in the end. COZZINO was unhurried early then made a mild rally while eight wide in the stretch and closed willingly in the end.
