Race Summary

WACO ZONE stalked the pace while racing two wide on the backstretch, rallied on the far turn and moved up to take command then drew off in mid stretch then was kept to task in late stretch to hold sway. SPOONERISM was unhurried early then started a run into the far turn while four wide then was five wide leaving the turn and lugged in slightly bumping with WINNING FORUM and knocked sideways then was gaining ground in late stretch but was second best. EL DAYJUR was settled in the early going and moved up the inside on the far turn while saving ground, rallied along the inside in the stretch and was gaining ground to finish well in the end. SOUTHERN MONEY set the early pace under good handling, was in a long drive on the far turn and weakened in the stretch. ROCKY ON THE RED was stalking the pace while racing inside on the run down the backstretch, started a run on the far turn then angled outside in mid stretch and bumped with WINNING FORUM then hung in late stretch. EXCLUSIVE NIGHT was unhurried early then moved outside on the far turn and fanned out to be six wide for the stretch run and passed tiring rivals in late stretch. RIVER RISING was settled early while racing three wide on the backstretch then made a bid on the far turn, was moving up between rivals and was forced to steadied sharply and be taken up losing all chance. SHANES LIGHT was two wide on the backstretch then made a bid on the far turn but was no menace in the stretch. SPEEDY RICKY was unhurried early then swung out to be seven wide in upper stretch and was no factor. WINNING FORUM was settled early then rallied three wide on the far turn making a strong bid to upper stretch then was bumped hard from both sides in mid stretch and stopped in late stretch. A stewards inquiry was held concerning the stretch run. After reviewing the films, ROCKY ON THE RED was disqualified from fifth and placed seventh for interference in mid stretch.
