BOURBONCENTRIC was well placed in the two to three path, gained under urging to make a bid in upper stretch, battled with the winner until near the sixteenth-pole and was outfinished then lost the place at the wire while under a mild hand-ride in the end but was clear for the show.

ZIP FOR RICK settled in the four then three path, was roused on the final turn, turned into upper stretch under a drive and failed to threaten.
