Race Summary

AWSUGAHNOW settled in hand four wide early, fanned six wide leaving the turn, edged in a bit to go after the leaders, reached the front a furlong out and drove clear under strong handling. STARS PORTENT, always well placed and between horses three or four wide, was not a match for the winner in the late going while gamely earning the place. PURE STAR, up close inside early, moved three wide, gained even terms for the lead between horses in the upper stretch but couldn't sustain the needed momentum. LEISURE, within striking distance and five wide, was empty when the test came. STAR OF LUVINA, within easy striking distance along the inside to the stretch, eased out three or four wide for the drive but lacked a response. LILLY CARSON sprinted clear two wide, made the pace to the stretch and faltered. HIGH CHOLESTEROL drifted out at the start bumping CASCADE ROSE, forced that one out on TALE OF THE QUEEN, was outrun to the lane, continued well off the inside and wasn't a threat. SWEET DIECISEIS tracked the pace four or five wide to the stretch, came out wider and weakened. TALE OF THE QUEEN, bumped at the start by CASCADE ROSE when that one was forced out, moved near the inside and wasn't a factor. CASCADE ROSE hopped while breaking slowly, was bumped by HIGH SCHOLESTEROL and forced out on TALE OF THE QUEEN, then never menaced.
