SPOTSGONE bobbled slightly at the break, went up soon after to vie for the lead between horses, held a slight edge for a few strides before going a quarter, allowed the advantage to PROTAGONUS from the inside, inherited the lead from that one when he broke down nearing the five-sixteenths pole, was engaged soon after by DAWN OF WAR from the outside and RECORD from the inside, then was outfinished by the latter in a game try. MISTER TRIESTER was bumped by PROTAGONUS when breaking a bit slow, then was squeezed back when R LOYAL MAN came out, settled four wide, inched up on the turn, came out six wide for the drive, loomed prominently in the final furlong but failed to sustain the needed momentum. DAWN OF WAR, bumped at the start by NOONMARK and forced out, was never far back while tracking the pace four or five wide, gained even terms for the lead in the upper stretch but weakened in the final sixteenth. R LOYAL MAN came out bothering MISTER TRIESTER at the start, raced within easy striking distance inside, was steadied nearing the five-sixteenths pole when PROTAGONUS broke down to his outside, remained a threat into the final furlong and flattened out. NOONMARK drifted out at the start bumping DAWN OF WAR, went up to attend the pace between horses four or five wide, held on well for five furlongs and gradually weakened. PROTAGONUS came in at the start bumping MISTER TRIESTER, went up soon after to put a head in front while dueling four wide between foes, was headed for a stride or two early by SPOTSGONE, regained a slight edge, continued in a pace battle around the but broke down in his right-front nearing the five-sixteenths pole.
