Race Summary

WANDERIN BOY sprinted clear early, held the lead while just off the rail, was asked for run nearing mid stretch and proved best under strong handling. POLLARD'S VISION stalked the leaders three wide, ranged up in upper stretch and then could not overtake the winner. ALUMNI HALL settled along the inside, eased out midway around the second turn, rallied gamely and got up for the show. GIGAWATT prominent placed from the rail, lacked a finish. FORMAL ATTIRE raced four or five wide throughout and hung. SKIPASLEW raced for or six wide to the second turn, moved in to race three wide around the turn, swung out after turning for home and could make little impact. GOLDEN GLEN three wide around the first turn, moved to the inside down the backstretch, was steered out midway around the second turn and then came wide in the drive. COLONIAL COLONY between foes early, raced off the rail down the backstretch and came widest in the drive. FIBER OPTIC settled along the inside and was well beaten.
