DRAW BOOT was five deep in midfield with the pack tightly knitted at the half mile marker, swooped four wide around runners on the turn being let loose at the three furlong pole, moved to the five path getting a head in front taking control outside straightening out for the drive and under steady right handed asking drew off smartly for the win in the final furlong. MAC GOWAN was away slowly trailing the compact group behind a wall of runners having the four path at the half, rallied through the turn circling runners four wide following the eventual winner, shifted to the five path full of run outside horses and charged home in the final furlong but was no match by the sixteenth pole while easily besting the rest for the secondary share. LEAN MUSIC MACHINE had the four path between runners in mid-pack at the half, was roused for more but could not quicken enough three wide trying to keep up to the winner outside who was circling around horse through the bend, shifted to the four path in mid-strech and ran on willing splitting foes late to win the duel for the show award in deep stretch. SILVER RALEIGH settled close to the back end between horses, improved slightly in the three path between foes in midfield with the group well bunched at the half, made no headway offering little run three wide around the oval, angled out widest in the five path for the drive to the finish line and ran on mildly outside rivals to get up for a minor role in deep stretch. TUTTI CONTENTI was hard held shadowing the pacesetter outside early down the backstretch, settled into stride rating kindly by the half mile marker, crept closer being called upon for more two wide between horses fighting up top by the quarter pole, gave way arguing on the front end three wide at the top of the lane and flattened out between runners by the sixteenth pole. ISAAC LEO broke on top leaving the gate clearing and crossing over to the rail under a snug hold entering the backstretch, continued to dictate the pace at the half, was nudged on for more with outside runners coming on in midturn, had no answer scraping paint with the winner storming past in upper stretch and folded shortening stride on the fence in the final sixteenth of a mile. RIDE FOR THE PURSE settled on the inside near the rear, advanced between runners in the two path to have aim on the lead duo by the half, had the lines shook by the rider two wide at the three eighths pole but was retreating to last by the midpoint of the turn and showed some passing a weary inside foe by the sixteenth pole. WORRY LESS was eager tugging at the rider advancing on the rail in the early going, tracked behind the frontrunner at the half, retreated taking the short way around the bend at the five sixteenths while being driven on the stay up with foes, skimmed the fence turning for home but emptied out by the furlong pole.
