Race Summary

GRAND STAGE vied for the lead along the inside, shook clear entering the stretch and maintained a diminishing advantage. ALFRIE'S FRIENDS attended the pace along the inside, shifted out entering the stretch and was getting to the winner late. WATERSHED EVENT tucked in to save ground, closed the gap through the second turn, got through entering the stretch and kept on willingly to earn the show. STRAIT OF MEWSINA (IRE) settled between horses, moved up to make a mild bid entering the stretch but lacked the needed late response. STEEL BLUE SLEW was jostled between horses entering the first turn, settled off of the pace, dropped well back on the second turn, angled in entering the stretch and came again to improve position. PAY O DAY was hustled along five wide, made a mild bid leaving the second turn but failed to sustain the drive. BUDDHA CAN DANCE failed to respond. APACHE STORM showed little. CHANGING STORM was rank to place, pulled to the lead four wide, but came up empty after six furlongs and dropped out. BRED TO WIN rushed to the lead five wide, disputed the issue for six furlong and stopped.
