FOUR STAR GENERAL stalked the pace in the four path, bid on the far turn and faltered near the eighth pole. U R NOT THE FATHER saved ground, angled to the four path in early stretch but had no late bid. POLAR DRIFT stalked the pace inside, bid between rivals and was checked hard near the quarter pole. WHATNOWDADDY was clear early and gave way near the quarter pole.
