A. Neloy; bred by Matt Byrne. WENT TO POST-5:051. OFF AT 5:061 EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME. Start good from stall gate. Won driving; second and third the same. VINSFURLOUGH, taken in hand and steadied to the last quarter, came to the inside when set down for the drive and, under a strong ride, got up in the closing strides. BLUE PAL rallied from the outside, moved up boldly nearing the last eighth but hung near the end. MAID OF OZ made the pace in hand, saved ground to the stretch where she commenced drifting out while tiring. CHALK was well placed from the start, raced on the outside much of the way and lacked a closing rally when called on for his best effort. SAM BERNARD had no apparent excuses while giving an even effort. MR.. HAPPY gave way suddenly after racing prominently to the last eighth. PIE LADY was through early.
