Race Summary

FLOWER ALLEY pressed the early pace in the two path, dropped back a bit before a half and again into the second turn, steadied briefly near the quarter mile marker when MAGNA GRADUATE angled in a bit, moved out leaving the second turn, responded willingly when roused in upper stretch and closed fast to be up in time. WILD DESERT outrun for a half, advanced off the inside into the second turn, angled out approaching the stretch, came wider in upper stretch to get outside the winner then finished well while not quite good enough. MR SWORD within striking distance in the two path, moved up quickly after a half, gained a short lead with three furlongs to go, drew clear into the stretch but faltered late. MAGNA GRADUATE never far back three wide, stayed in that path after six furlongs, angled in a bit with a quarter mile to go and lacked a late bid. ANDROMEDA'S HERO outrun early along the inside, angled around a tiring DIAMOND ISLE entering the second turn, came out farther in the strip for the drive and rallied willingly. SPANISH CHESTNUT set the pace in the three path, held on well to midstretch and tired. MAYAN KING reserved three wide, made a solid middle move off the inside to reach a striking position with three furlongs to go but gave way in the final quarter. DIAMOND ISLE close up along the inside, was in a bit tight with three furlongs to go then stopped. TEXCESS within striking distance four wide, stopped. A foul claim by the owner of WILD DESERT against the rider of the winner for interference in upper stretch was not allowed.
