Parx Racing

JOYFUL JOYCE awaited room through the turn, split foes into the stretch and surged away driving. AMERICAN PEACHES lagged far behind then advanced wide to gain the place. LAUGHING LADY prompted the pace along the rail then proved empty in the stretch. CLASSIC MYSTERY dropped well behind then angled inside with some late energy. SEVEN P R C prompted the pace three wide then five wide into the stretch and faltered. WONDERFULVENEZUELA dropped well behind then passed fading rivals. NOUVEAU RICHE set the pace off the inside for half mile and gave way. DAISY BELIEVES lacked speed, moved inside and was never a factor. RAVENITE chased in mid-pack and stopped after half mile.

MR. MENDELSSOHN stalked two wide, chased on the turn, rallied outside entering the stretch, took over passing the furlong marker, pulled away under urging and coasted late. BANJO set the pace racing with a clear lead, dueled with the winner in upper stretch, was no match, then dug in and held well for second. PRAIRIE DUNES raced off the pace between rivals, advanced on the turn and rallied mildly outside. LUCCHESI tracked close up on the inside, chased inside on the turn, lacked a bid and finished evenly. RUN MY CARD raced off the pace, came four wide into the lane and closed belatedly outside. SCUDETTO raced off the pace inside, came three wide into the lane and failed to threaten. WAKE SURF raced three wide off the pace, chased on the turn, rode the rail into the stretch and lacked a rally.

SHEER DOMINANCE trailed far behind then rallied inside to gain the lead late in a driving finish. DONNELLY'S HOLLOW well placed behind the duelers, came out soundly bumping rival at the top of the lane causing CHASE A DREAM to fall. BOYS OF SUMMER came in crowding rival at the start, vied inside then weakened late. DESERT AIRE alternated for advantage outside and gave way in the stretch. CHASE A DREAM was roughed at the start, rallied wide into the stretch, was soundly bumped causing him to fall and subsequently be euthanized. Following a steward's inquiry, DONNELLY'S HOLLOW was disqualified and placed fourth for causing spill at the top of the stretch.
