| Race Summary |
|---|
DYNAMIC STRIKE pressed the pace into the first turn, moved up into a three horse duel from three wide down the backstretch, took the lead still three wide turning for home, cleared in mid-stretch and held the closer safe. ROADHOG stalked the dueling leaders to the head of the lane, angled four wide and closed well to be gaining in deep stretch. FORWARD THINKER broke though the gate before the start, reloaded, was allowed to settle near the back for the first half mile, rallied in the turn circling wide and finished well to gain the show. SO KITTEN well placed in mid-pack within striking distance and lacked a closing kick. DUFF slow early to be at the rear and passed tiring rivals in the lane. CANDY SHACK pressed the pace from the start, dueled between horses to upper stretch and weakened inside the eighth pole. RES JUDICATA sped to the lead from the fence into the first turn, dueled from the rail to the head oft he lane and tired in the drive. BEYOND SMART broke through the gate, reloaded looking washy, contended for a half mile and was through early. |
