CRUMLIN FASHION was outside three others travelling four deep in the middle of the pack down the backside, cruised three wide well in hand around the turn coming the lead pair outside by the quarter pole, had a head in front three wide with horses on both sides taking the corner, drifted out driving for the lead with a host of challengers at the furlong pole while being encouraged by a right handed crop and under a vigorous ride clinging up top in deep stretch held on getting the head down right at the wire for the gutsy win. TAKE CHANCES made a savvy move saving ground getting to the fence tracking the front pair with a half mile remaining, sat poised behind the engaged leaders waiting for the cue to go on the turn running, shifted to the four path moving closer to be a serious threat at the top of the lane, battled outside of the winner getting floated out fighting for the lead in the final furlong, was inching ever so close coming to the wire but was denied losing the nod right on the line. HOPE SHE FIRES had a head in front on the fence in the beginning, gamely dueled inside going nose to nose up top around the oval, had the inside with others outside bearing down in upper stretch, could not fend off the top two finishers in the last sixteenth of a mile but dug in stubbornly in the final few strides to edge away from a couple of rivals late to collect the show money at the finish line. SUNNYVILLE settled in midfield like many did while in the two path between horses in the early stages, was shuffled back slightly at the five sixteenths pole losing a bit of momentum, angled to the five path straightening out for the drive, moved back inside three wide at the furlong pole and showed some late interest trying to close for the third place share late but just missing in the end settling on the fringes instead. SERIOUS GREEN prompted the issue outside down the back straight, got on even terms two wide outside midway around the turn arguing up front, vied between rivals at the quarter pole, had the two path still in the hunt in upper stretch, was no match giving way fighting for the win at the sixteenth pole and faded late losing the three way battle between foes for the show award in deep stretch. ALMASTY'S LUST was away slowly spotting the pack at the start, co-trailed on the inside with another at the half, offered a mild run closing the gap on the fence in midturn, scraped paint at the top of the stretch in with a chance for a small share in upper stretch but lacked a finishing rally inside of runners in the final furlong. JAPONKA was unhurried sharing the rear outside with a half mile still to run, could not keep up to the bunch around the turn, angled to the three path for the drive to the finish line but failed to menace only passing a weary foe in the stretch run. BLACK GODDESS was part of the foursome in midfield having the three path between foes midway down the backside, dropped back under to hold losing position three wide at the three eighths marker, shifted out widest in the six path turning for home but had little to offer in the stretch running outside.
