Race Summary

CLOCK STOPPER broke sharply, was allowed to settle off the early leaders while racing three wide, moved to challenge once straightened into the stretch, caught GATORS N BEARS leaving the furlong grounds, then drove clear under steady left handed pressure. GATORS N BEARS away in good order, moved to the fore soon after the start, maintained his advantage while racing two wide, set the pace to mid stretch, then gave way grudgingly while clearly second best. SILVER WAGON came in a bit at the start, was forwardly placed while racing inside, angled three wide in upper stretch, then lacked a solid closing bid. SIR SHACKLETON never far back, moved to a challenging position from between horses late on the turn, swung four wide entering the stretch, then lacked a solid closing response. LION TAMER hopped a bit at the start, was taken in hand to trail the field, circled rivals to gain a striking position late on the turn, then had no response. CAJUN BEAT pressed the pace outside GATORS N BEARS, remained a sharp factor to upper stretch and gave way readily.
