PILLAR OF BEAUTY came away in good order, rounded the first turn in the three path, stalked the pace on the outside of the leader while inside of I LOVE GIRAFFES, brushed with that foe near the half-mile pole, made a bid with three furlongs to run, vied in the two path on the far turn, was bumped in the hindquarters and had I LOVE GIRAFFES clip her heels outside the quarter-pole, came under a drive in upper stretch, gained a short lead near the furlong marker, led into the final sixteenth but was overtaken while clear for the place.
