BIRDSTONE was unhurried while between
horses on the first turn, swung out entering the backstretch, settled in the
middle of the pack while racing five wide along the backstretch, took up
chase after SMARTY JONES from outside on the far turn, moved around EDDINGTON
while gaining ground midway on the turn, circled five wide while launching
his bid at the top of the stretch, drifted out in upper stretch, straightened
his course when struck right handed nearing the furlong marker, closed steadily
under steady right hand encouragement a sixteenth out then wore down SMARTY
JONES in the final seventy yards. SMARTY JONES moved up from outside to
contest the early pace, pressed the pace while four wide entering the
backstretch, surged to the front just after going a half mile, battled heads
apart while continuing wide to the far turn, shook off ROCK HARD TEN to get
clear leaving the three-eighths pole, extended his lead approaching the
quarter pole, drifted out when struck left handed with the whip in upper
stretch and again nearing the eighth pole, maintained a clear lead inside the
furlong marker, fought gamely into deep stretch then yielded grudgingly while
weakening in the late stages. ROYAL ASSAULT checked in tight while being
bothered by ROCK HARD TEN at the start, raced well back through the opening
half mile, moved up a bit between horses along the backstretch, launched a
mild rally three wide on the turn then failed to threaten while improving his
position in the stretch. EDDINGTON was hustled up from outside in the early
stages, stalked the pace while five wide along the backstretch, raced just
outside SMARTY JONES leaving the far turn, dropped back a bit leaving the
three-eighths pole then steadily tired thereafter. ROCK HARD TEN fractious behind
the gate at the start, broke outward causing crowding leaving the gate, moved
up between horses on the first turn, pressed the pace inside SMARTY JONES
along the backstretch, made a run along the inside to threaten on the far
turn, forced the issue to the turn then tired from his early efforts. TAP
DANCER never reached contention while five wide
throughout. MASTER DAVID steadied along the inside on the first turn, lagged
behind between horses entering the backstretch then failed to mount a serious
rally while four wide throughout. CAIMAN showed brief speed along the inside,
saved ground along the backstretch and faded before going a mile. PURGE
rushed up while rank in the early stages, set the pace along the rail for
nearly a half, dropped back on the far turn and steadily tired thereafter. |
