Saratoga Race Course

MY GUN'S LOADED broke in at the start and was corrected, chased along the inside and then just off the inside coming under coaxing near the quarter pole before being set down swinging five to six wide into upper stretch, rallied to take command just inside the three-sixteenths pole, then edged clear to the finish to score. COLD SPELL lost her lane at the start when FUSION recovered inwards from a bobble, chased four then three wide under a ride from the five-sixteenths marker, swung four wide into upper stretch taking over command straightened away, got collared just inside the three-sixteenths pole, then ran on to preserve the place honors while no match for the top one. PIPPA ADDS chased along the inside, angled out three to four wide into upper stretch in behind rivals roused for the drive, dug in and angled in to the two path a furlong out, kept on to the finish. CROWNING GLORY chased five paths off the rail down the backstretch and then three wide through the turn under a ride with seven-sixteenths to go, angled six wide into upper stretch and passed tired rivals to the wire. MY SHERRONA prompted the pace of NAKOMA from the outside three then two wide coming under coaxing when taking command near the quarter pole, spun three wide into upper stretch, yielded the front to COLD SPELL straightened away and tired. FUSION bobbled at the break and recovered inwards to take over the lane of the slower breaking COLD SPELL, chased three wide and faded down the backstretch tucking to the two path into the turn, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and tired. NAKOMA hustled from the gate, cut the pace just off the inside coaxed along lightly under some pressure from MY SHERRONA to the outside, tucked inside through the turn and came under urging midway, yielded the front nearing the quarter pole, took the inside route into upper stretch, tired, and was eased in the late stages to the end.

SENIOR OFFICER stalked the pace on the outside, was asked in the three path on the turn, chased the runner-up under a drive into the final furlong, gained into the final sixteenth and got up in the final stride to narrowly prevail. CONTRARY THINKING angled in while going to the front then showed the way, vied inside on the turn, responded well when asked near the quarter-pole, came under a left-handed crop in upper stretch, was switched to a right-handed crop while drifting out some coming to the sixteenth-pole, led until the final stride but was denied while clear for the place. LIFE AND TIMES broke in and bumped with a foe then dropped back, settled on the inside of an opponent, was roused in the two then three path on the turn, came into the stretch in the four path and lacked the needed kick while up for the show. RESILIENCE was well placed while rated just off the pace, saved ground on the turn, was asked at the quarter-pole then moved out, chased under a drive into the final furlong and weakened. AWESOME NATIVE settled on the outside, was roused in the three then four path on the turn, spun into the stretch in the five path and lacked the needed response. PARADISE VALLEY tossed his head at the start, was bumped and forced in then dropped back, settled at the rear, saved ground under urging on the turn, steadied behind horses coming to the quarter-pole, was roused into upper stretch and failed to threaten. INCENTIVE PAY was a bit awkwardly into stride, settled towards the rear, was roused in the two path on the turn, moved to the three path late on that bend, turned into the stretch in the five path, shifted in outside the furlong marker and failed to respond. COMMUTED prompted the pace on the outside of the leader, chased the pace late on the backstretch, went around the turn in the two path, dropped back coming to the quarter-pole and faltered then was eased in the final furlong but walked off.
