SPINDLE outsprinted his opposition from the beginning, saved ground while being steadied along, was lightly shaken up in the early stretch and won with something in reserve. IMPUDENCE was between horses while improving his position to the stretch turn, was put to strong handling for the drive, but was unable to menace the top one. SIR GALAVAN was well placed while racing on the outside, but lacked a closing rally. FIGHTING FOOL rallied from the inside after a quarter, but commenced giving way steadily after going five-eighths.

RED CAMELIA broke very slowly, was badly outrun to the final quarter, found racing room on the rail when roused, closed with a belated rush and got up in the final strides. SOLID TRICK made a bold bid on entering the final quarter, took command, but hung near the end while under extreme pressure. PITY was shuffled back while racing on the outside rounding the turn, rallied under punishment when clear in the early stretch and closed a big gap. PUFFBALL was well placed from the beginning, saved ground rounding the turn and made a mild rally in the late stages. IRISH WITCH moved up strongly nearing the final furlong marker, but had nothing left for the drive. LA RIMDA gave way steadily after showing some early speed, WHIRLIMYGIG was never a contender.

NAVY CHIEF, between horses from the beginning, rallied gamely in the last quarter and narrowly missed. MORE SUN found his best stride after three-eighths and finished full of run on the rail.

Crouch. WENT TO POST-5:02. OFF AT 5:021 EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME. Start good from stall gate. Won driving; second and third the same. MR. HAPPY pressed the pace in hand from the outside, responded readily to punishment inside the last eighth to wear down PHEECIA and gradually drew out. The latter made the pace under clever rating, saved ground throughout, but could not resist the top one. ELASTIC had no apparent mishap in an even effort. PENTIN displayed an even race. BOLD REGARD raced a trifle wide and failed to rally when called on. GOLF CLUB was through early. Scratched— 73561 Sir Gallascene, 112. Attendance, 21,659; Total Mutuel Pool# ,744,395.
