Belmont at the Big A

THROUGH THE YEARS (IRE) broke out at the start bumping JUST PEACHY, cut the pace showing the way clear early on before coming under a hard hold allowing the field to take closer order into the turn, remained three wide until tucked to the two path with five-sixteenths to go, continued in the two path into upper stretch, got released from her hold three-sixteenths from home and edged clear under light urging and was ridden out to the wire. JUST PEACHY got bumped at the start by the aforementioned foe who broke outwards, chased just off the inside coming under a ride with five-sixteenths to run, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, ran on to chase the winner home clear of the rest and along for the place honors. HONEY HONEY four wide in pursuit, came under encouragement with five-sixteenths remaining, continued four wide into upper stretch, weakened while along for the show honors. WE GOIN got steadied after the start when losing her lane to JUST PEACHY and HONEY HONEY and conceded four lengths to the front, chased just off the inside under a ride with five-sixteenths to run, cornered just off the inside into upper stretch and weakened. NASHOBA coaxed from the gate, chased three paths off the rail down the backstretch, tucked inside through the turn, swung two to three wide into upper stretch and trailed.

HIGHGROVE was away alertly to set the pace on the inside while being well handled, moved out to the two path on the turn and came under coaxing leaving the turn and was sent down for the drive leaving the three sixteenths, then drew out under right handed crop and then was switched to left handed urging by the sixteenth pole to remain clear and prove best while being kept to task. LONG TERM MARKET prompted the winner on the outside and came under coaxing three wide on the turn, came three wide off the turn and kept on willingly but had to settle for being clearly second best. MORNING MENACE tracked the leaders from the inside and rode the rail on the turn but weakened while besting the rest. RUN WILD tracked the early pace from between rivals and then chased the leaders two to three wide while coming under a ride midway on the turn and came four wide off the turn but weakened. AMENDED DREAMER was allowed to settle on the inside, came under a ride on the turn moving out to the two path on the turn but tired in the drive.
