Race Summary

AMERICAN FREEDOM was roughed on the heels of rivals into the opening turn, rated off the pace toward mid track, started his drive five wide leaving the quarter pole then dug in gamely to maintain a slight edge. SPRUCE RUN rated the pace inside, dug in gamely through the stretch, yielded to the winner the final sixteenth but held fast in place. ROYAL AFFIRMED rated just off the pace inside, dueled close from the top of the stretch, just lasted for show but appeared sore and had to be vanned off. BIG BOOSTER was shuffled back early, settled into stride toward the inside, lacked room through the upper stretch, eased out a sixteenth away and finished in full stride. REMIND steadied early, rated off the pace outside, gave chase four wide on the final turn, dueled through the stretch but yielded the closing yards. COTTAGE (ARG) rated back toward mid track, came widest on the final turn, closed to late stretch then leveled off approaching the wire. MIDNIGHT EXPRESS rated just off the pace and off the rail, contested three wide and between horses on the final turn then weakened into the stretch. TREFINITY was unhurried and offered no rally.
