PROPORTIONALITY coaxed from the gate, pressed the pace three then two wide between foes from the five-eighths, came under urging at the three-eighths, spun three wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive head to head with the aforementioned foe fighting on game but was ultimately bested in the last strides while safe for the place honors. GREASEDLIGHTNING three then two wide in pursuit from just off the pace between rivals, had the inner most member of that trio back away when put to urging three furlongs from home, swung four wide at the head of the stretch, kicked on belatedly to secure the show honors latching on the aforementioned rival as that one hit the finish.

GIANT BOXER chased just off the pace just off the inside to the inside of a pair, tucked to the rail half a mile from home, began to back away when put to urging midway on the turn, continued just off the inside for home and tired. STATUS ASTHMATICUS bumped at the start by TIED UP who broke outwards, raced briefly in tight two to three wide at the tail of the field, got guided outside and jumped over some unforeseen obstacle possibly due to the kickback from rivals in front nearing the nine-sixteenths, lost further ground as a result growing detached five wide at the rear, tucked four wide into the turn, came under coaxing midway on the bend, continued five wide into upper stretch and trailed throughout.

AUNT ASHLEY made light contact shoulder to shoulder with SEVENTH PLANET right after the field had been on its way, took up the chase from path three in midpack on the first bend, tipped one path farther off the inside approaching the conclusion of the backstretch, after several others had chosen wider routes themselves for the journey around turn two, was put to a drive for the drive home, steadily chopped away at the deficit, came in steadily in the final stages, taking TOY MOON along for a ride all the while, then went on to best that opponent for place honors. TOY MOON broke on top and retained the advantage, showed the way, pulling on the left and being tailed by the winner from path two, saw that one increase the pressure as six furongs was being reached, was about a neck behind stepping into the stretch, drifted towards the three path once the pilot relaxed his grip on the left and asked the mount for run at the furlong grounds, failed to re-claim the lead, wound up getting induced towards the rail and subsequently squeezed in deep stretch, lost the place. SEVENTH PLANET strung out four to three wide on the opening bend, was closer to the inside afterwards stalking the leader, firnly rated, got roused at the five-sixteenths marker, swung into the lane and made no headway. SIPPICAN HARBOR was put an abbreviated hand ride procuring the pocket during the initial stages, vacated the premises past the half mile pole, kept watch on TOY MOON two wide and from between rivals on the far turn, stepped into lane, was forced to await usable options, in tight in traffic from midstretch to around the sixteenth pole, got roused leaving that station and flashed headway. GHOSTLY BEAUTY pulling hard wedged between rivals on the homestretch, continued onward from between rivasls for three-quarters, stationed in path two on the first turn, and in path three on the next one, commenced the stretch slighlty wider, lacked a solid closing response. TWO DOZEN ROSES along the inside route, rated unkind for the opening half, was put to a drive cutting the corner into the stretch, failed to fire appreciably. GLAZE unhurried in path two until the end of the backstretch, travelled on the far turn put to a hand ride that grew stronger and stronger with
every stride, angled five wide duirng the initial portion of the stretch, had no gain. SWEET CAROLINA quickly sent into path two, got called upon late after more than halfway around the far turn, didn't pick it up and wound trailing throughout.

DOLCE LILI went around the first turn in the three path, was rated on the outside, went two then three wide on the far turn, spun into the four path entering the stretch, advanced to loom a threat between horses, steadied in the vicinity of the furlong marker, regained momentum before the sixteenth-pole and finished willingly for the place.

RILEY'S CHOICE was well rated while setting a tepid pace on the inside, came under urging near the quarter-pole, lost the lead under a strong hand ride in upper stretch, dropped back under a right-handed whip into the final furlong and gave way. Following a stewards' inquiry into the stretch run, no change was made to the order of finish.

ADULATION broke in a step at the start and came together with TRULY A MOON SHOT who broke out a step, chased three wide down the backstretch from near the rear before tipping out four wide put to coaxing at the three-eighths, advanced through the latter portion of the bend into contention swinging four wide for home outside the top trio, rallied to take over command nearing the eighth pole, dug in under threat to the inside fighting on to the finish but was bested in the last strides while well clear of the rest. BENEFACTOR chased just off the inside between foes early on, tucked inside into the turn, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, cut the corner into upper stretch to the front, dug in under a near sided stick coming outwards and trading a bump with THE RED DUDE who came in under an off sided stick near the eighth pole as ADULATION took over command, then weakened in the late stages while preserving the show honors. CAVALLOTTO bobbled slightly at the break and came under coaxing, chased along the inside under prolonged coaxing from the half mile pole, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, weakened in the drive. THREE TO THIRTEEN hustled from the gate, led safely in front early on three wide before coming under pressure from a pair tucked to the two path half a mile from home, rode the rail through the turn under coaxing from the three-eighths, got headed with five-sixteenths to go, spun just off the inside at the quarter pole being shaken off by the top trio and weakened in the stretch. LIGHT THE VOW four to five wide at the tail of the field down the backstretch, came under coaxing at the seven-sixteenths five wide, continued five to six wide into upper stretch and offered no response. ESPRESSO CALIENTE broke in at the start and was corrected, advanced in tandem with THE RED DUDE to apply pressure to the leader three wide between foes half a mile from home, tucked to the two path through the bend under coaxing, began to be shaken off nearing the quarter pole, swung three to four wide at that station and tired. TRULY A

POINT TO REMEMBER sat fowardly placed in path three to the quarter pole, got cued up spinning into the stretch, sparred with vigour matched up with the winner in the final furlong and although flashing some willingness, was staved off. DOMAIN away the quickest, retained control, cut over to the inside, carved out the pace, well rated and with the top one in attendance in path two, saw that foe increase his presence as three-quarters was being completed, was the first of those to be committed to a drive, this occurring just shy of the quarter pole, yielded for good soon afterwards, hung around as a factor for a little while longer then backed away. FIREBALL SHOT recovered after stumbling at the break and settled towards the back of the pack, kept an eye on the front runners, stationed in path two, dove onto the rail at the top of the turn, was given his cue and improved with a rail run lasting to the five-sixteenths marker, tipped back to the outside leaving that station, ultimately getting driven into path four by midstretch, flattened out. STUART HALL two wide and between opponents on the first turn, departed the backstretch slightly farther off the inside, was through after completing six furlongs. STEALTH acting rankly fighting the pilot along the inside on the homestretch, gradually trekked into path three during the run around the first turn, tipped yet wider for a spell on the backstretch before shiting back into path three by the half mile pole, made into the stretch and had no response. ZEALOUS pocketed after the field had been released, appeared keen eyeing the front runners during the opening phases, was put to a drive anging to the outside from the five-sixteenth pole, completed the move in path five, gave way. TOP ME OFF off the inside throughout, travelled four wide on turn two, swung a couple of paths wider for the stretch run, came up empty. Denotes a Keeneland Sales Graduate

NO REGRETS showed good speed, set the pace while getting some pressure to his inside, moved clear into the turn, went around the bend in the two path, was asked at the quarter-pole, led into the final furlong under a few taps of a down-turned whip, was put to a left-handed whip while still in front at the sixteenth-pole, drifted out then bumped with the winner while losing the advantage and missed while clear for the place. FUEL THE BERN settled under some restraint, was let out in the three then four path on the turn, came under a left-handed whip outside the furlong marker, switched to a right-handed whip near the sixteenth-pole and lacked the needed kick while just able to get the show.

WIN WITH PRIDE dropped back after breaking well, settled at the rear, went around most of the turn in the two path, shifted three wide outside the quarter-pole, was asked for his best in upper stretch and failed to rally. VENTRY BAY pressed the pace on the inside, dropped back passing the seven-sixteenths, chased inside on the turn, dropped back into upper stretch and weakened.

GOLDEN AWARD broke in at the start under coaxing and bumped COMMUNAL around between foes in concert with FRENCH EMPIRE before pinching that rival back as a team, showed the way three then two wide safely in front through swift splits, got set down spinning just off the inside for home, dug in confronted through the length of the stretch coming out briefly under a near sided stick and brushing with her main danger a furlong out, got headed a sixteenth from home and ran on clear of the rest and second best. FRENCH EMPIRE broke out at the start bumping around COMMUNAL in tandem with GOLDEN AWARD who broke inwards before pinching that rival back between, chased along the inside under coaxing from the three-eighths, cut the corner into upper stretch, angled out nearing the eighth pole and kept on for the show honors.

COMMUNAL got bounced around between foes who each broke her way getting pinballed before being pinched back, chased three wide from near the rear, came under coaxing half a mile from home, failed to pick up any interest or ground, went nine to ten paths into upper stretch being eased, completed the course down the a walk at the finish, then walked off under her own power.

JAUNT quickly sent into path two after the break, sat reserved for almost three-quarters, was called upon for more leaving the five-sixteenths marker, got maneuvered into path four during the initial portion of the stretch, straightened away, flashed good late foot en route to garnering the place. TRANSACTION TAX secured the top shortly after the start, cleared over to the rail at the top of the clubhouse bend, showed the way on a loosely-contended lead, and would continue along on the same set-up rattling off each of the first three fractions, moved into path two when put to a drive at the head of the stretch, held out until the vicinity of the sixteenth pole, then weakened into the show slot. REMARQUED underwent a three wide pursuit for six furlongs, stepped into the stretch set to brisk encouragement, altered twice off foes from midlane to the sixteenth pole, appeared to have some run left when a bit more in the clear but only being lightly hand urged in the final stages. LION IN WAIT strung out three wide on both turns, was feverishly ridden beginning from the five-sixteenths pole, weakened down the stretch. DANCING BREEZE (IRE) towards path two and racing rankly to the crown of the backstretch, found room along the hedge in time to cut the corner into the lane, lacked a solid closing punch. QUEEN MUM under a hold stalking the pacesetter from path two, came under a drive as three-quarters was being completed, gave way in last eighth. STAINLESS remained along the inside after bobbling lightly as the field was sent on its way, began to fight the rider approaching the top of the first turn and would keep at it to its end, backed away steadily after finishing the opening half.

MIDNIGHT BISOU came away in good order, rounded the first turn in the two path, settled in third position, moved closer inside the three-quarter pole, went around the far turn in the four path, was roused at the five-sixteenths, chased the winner under the whip into the final furlong and proved no match while clear for the place. CHOCOLATE MARTINI settled on the inside, moved closer under coaxing on the far turn, was roused while cutting the corner into the stretch, chased under the whip past the three-sixteenths, dropped back into the final furlong and weakened but earned the show. ESKIMO KISSES traveled around the first turn in the three path, settled at the rear on the outside, passed the half-mile pole under urging, came under stronger encouragement in the two path early on the far turn, shifted four wide outside the quarter-pole, came five wide into the stretch under the whip and failed to respond. GIO GAME came out in front, raced in the three path on the first turn, prompted the pace on the outside, vied in the three path on the far turn, was asked near the five-sixteenths, dropped back between horses into upper stretch and faded.
