WINNING COLORS, away alertly, raced slightly out from the rail while making the pace under good handling, settled into the stretch with a clear advantage and was under left-handed pressure to last over FORTY NINER. The latter broke sharply to prompt the pace into the first turn, was allowed to drop back through the run down the backstretch and around the far turn, remained well out in the track into the stretch and finished strongly. RISEN STAR, outrun into the backstretch while racing wide, continued along the outside while rallying approaching the stretch and failed to seriously menace while making up ground late. PROPER REALITY moved into contention along the inside nearing the backstretch, moved closest to WINNING COLORS while continuing to save ground on the far turn, remained a factor to midstretch but lacked the needed later response. REGAL CLASSIC moved within striking distance along the inside approaching the end of the backstretch but failed to seriously threaten with a mild late response. BRIAN'S TIME, badly outrun after coming away in close quarters, raced widest of all while commencing to rally leaving the far turn and was going well at the finish. SEEKING THE GOLD, away in good order, raced slightly out from the rail while racing forwardly to the upper stretch and weakened. CEFIS, outrun to the far turn, moved through along the inside while rallying entering the stretch but failed to sustain his bid. PRIVATE TERMS, never far back, moved up between horses nearing the far turn, came out to continue his rally but lacked a further response. JIM'S ORBIT, between horses much of the way, failed to be a serious factor. GRANACUS, squeezed back after the start, was attempting to split horses when forced to take up sharply approaching the stretch. LIVELY ONE failed to reach serious contention while between horses throughout. DIN'S DANCER, a forward factor until near the end of the backstretch, gave way. KINGPOST came out after dropping back along the inside on the first turn and failed to be a factor. INTENSIVE COMMAND was never close. PURDUE KING showed some early foot while racing wide and tired badly. SEA TREK, forwardly placed into the first turn, was finished soon after entering the backstretch.
