Race Summary

GRAND (IRE), rated along the inside from early on, saved ground into the upper stretch, eased out four or five wide for the drive and was hard ridden to edge clear late. KELVINGTON, well placed between foes from the outset, reached the front four wide at the furlong grounds but couldn't handle the winner in the late going. KING OF SPEED attended the pace from the beginning while outside of BLACK JACK ATTACK, gained a slim lead, held on well into the last eighth and grudgingly weakened. THIRD HALF, five wide from the backstretch on, moved wider into the stretch and managed a mild gain. PAIR OF KINGS, unhurried and four or five wide throughout, lacked a closing kick. BLACK JACK ATTACK vied for the lead inside, held on well until the final furlong and couldn't continue. GRETCHEN'S STAR raced in a striking position along the inside into the final furlong and flattened out. EASY MONEY tired on the far turn. GOLDEN TRIP (CHI) wasn't a factor.
