Tiberius appeared to hit a bad spot in the track and swerved over to the . jnside, but was rapidly straightened out and went on to finish first by a length and a half. Skyflier kept coming and nipped Heather Time right at the wire. " Maschek immediately went up to the stand, then Nash was called up and Tiberius number was taken down.
