BESITA wrested command from between horses after a quarter, raced head and head with ARMELLE to the last sixteenth, then was forced to ease back when in close quarters. BLUE BALLAD broke slowly, found racing room on the rail inside the last quarter to close with a belated rush and was also in close quarters near the end. REL0UP was well placed from the beginning, but failed to rally when called on. GARDEN WEEK had good speed for a quarter and tired. HELPIT was never a factor. MELS BELLS ana AP0CAPE were outrun.

KEEP WATCH, taken under steadying restraint while being outrun early, was brought out on the turn, came back to the inside when set down for the drive, but was not good enough. HARD FACTS rallied from the outside after a half mile, lost additional ground entering the stretch and weakened under punishment. SAM BERNARD made up some ground in the iate stages. COMANCHE PEAK, slow to begin as usual, was brought to the outside on the stretch turn and made a mild rally. BLUNT REMARK gave way suddenly after racing prominently for five-eighths.

The latter rallied gamely under punishment after a quarter to close with a belated rush. SWEEP THE SKY was never a great distance back, drifted out from the rail while holding her position, but could not get to the top pair.
