Race Summary

GREELEY'S GALAXY broke in good order, raced close up inside early, was eased out three wide for clear sailing on the backstretch, rallied to challenge turning for home, took command a furlong out then drew off under mostly hand urging. MONARCH LANE raced near the middle of the field while mostly four wide, closed a gap on the second turn and rallied for the place while no threat to the top one. MAGNA GRADUATE race off the rail near the middle of the field, entered the stretch four to five wide and rallied to loom a threat for the place but flattened out in the final furlong. RIKMAN was in a bit tight in the run to the first turn, raced mostly four wide and had no real response when asked. WIN ME OVER was void of early speed along the inside and could only improve his position along the rail without threatening. DADDY JOE went up form the outside to get the lead, set all of the pace from off the rail and gave way in the drive. MEDIGATING (FR) lacked speed while four wide and was always outrun. KANSAS CITY BOY pressed the pace three wide and tired in the drive.
