DONATO HANOVER was away well back, made steady progress first-over through turn two, had to be steadied a bit near the top of the stretch, but was easily the best in here. He is owned by David Scharf, Golden Touch Stable and Steven Arnold of NY & NJ, trained by Steve Elliott, and driven by Ron Pierce.

RELENTLESS DUKE got away mid-pack, followed poor cover second-over was forced three-wide into the lane when his cover expired, and closed willingly and widest of all.

ADRIAN CHIP left hard, and was three-wide into turn one, was left out a long way, before finally clearing on turn two, met the winner’s pressure almost immediately, and held well while no match.

MYTHICAL LINDY made two moves to assume command, yielded a second time to let Adrian Chip clear, followed along behind that one through turn three, and was no threat.

QUITE EASY took back off the gate, gapped out badly on the backstretch, picked it up a bit on the final turn, and rallied only mildly.

EDGESTONE HANOVER left enough from midpack to drop into the three hole, labored to follow along there, and had no late kick. STUNT MAN HALL left hard, and was parked to the 3/8ths pole, reached the top, and was the victim of an immediate retake, worked his way out of the four-hole, and faded. LADDIE was off slowly, and never got involved. LIBRA VITA was off stride before the start, lagging the field by 5 lengths, and was no factor. XACTLY HANOVER took back to last from the ten hole, and stayed there.

WESTERN MONTANA followed cover third-over, made a wide move in the stretch, and never got close.
