PINEAPPLE MAN coaxed from the gate to establish the front after the break, cut the pace from the three path down the backstretch under some pressure from SCREAMING UNCLE to the outside, tucked inside through the turn coming under encouragement near the five-sixteenths pole, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, edged clear under a drive to score. SMILENSAYCHEESE got bumped at the break by the lunging inwards INDIANQUEST, chased six to seven paths off the rail down the backstretch from mid pack, tucked four wide through the turn coming under urging with five-sixteenths to go, angled six to seven wide into upper stretch, offered up a mild kick to secure the place honors. SCREAMING UNCLE prompted the pace of PINEAPPLE MAN from the outside five paths off the inside down the backstretch and then just next door when tucked to the two path through the turn, remained patiently handled until set down angled three to four wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive shaken off nearing the eighth pole, kept on to preserve the show honors on the wire. INTERLOCK EMPIRE chased six to seven paths off the inside down the backstretch until tucked to the two path five and a half furlongs from home, continued in the two path through the turn and then took the inside route into upper stretch, offered up a bid a furlong out, then flattened out in the late stages.
