Race Summary

DON'T GET MAD settled in hand four wide, commenced a sweeping rally approaching the final quarter, came out seven wide, took over, drew clear and was under urging to widen a bit at the end. UNBRIDLED ENERGY leaned in at the start bumping CRIMSON STAG, was never far back, raced four wide, moved out seven or eight wide for the stretch run and was second best. REAL DANDY, five wide into the backstretch, edged in soon after going a half, eased out and split horses three or four wide in the upper stretch and bested the others. FIRST WORD, within easy striking distance and four or five wide, moved to the challenge approaching the stretch, put his head in front briefly between calls a quarter-mile out, then weakened when straightened for the drive. BUCHAREST, inside early, eased out four wide on the backstretch to chase front-running CRIMSON STAG, inched to challenge on the far turn, put a head in front briefly just prior to going six furlongs, then weakened soon after. CRIMSON STAG, bumped at the start by UNBRIDLED ENERGY when that one leaned in, sprinted clear soon after, raced two or three wide, began to shorten stride leaving the backstretch and gave way readily upon going six furlongs.
