KEYED ENTRY came away in good order, let the winner make the pace, advanced outside on the second turn, responded when roused in upper stretch and dug in gamely to the wire but could not get to the front. SWEETNORTHERNSAINT raced close up outside while in hand, was three wide on both turns and stayed on gamely outside in the stretch. GREELEY'S LEGACY raced close up early while in hand, rallied inside on the second turn and finished gamely on the rail. ACHILLES OF TROY broke slowly, was outrun early, raced wide on the second turn, had no response when put to the whip and was vanned off after the finish. PUTONYERDANCINSHUZ was outrun early, raced inside and had no response when roused. HESANOLDSALT was steadied in tight quarters along the rail nearing the first turn, dropped along the inside, trailed into the stretch, angled out for the drive and had no rally. SUNSHINE ALPINE was outrun early, raced wide throughout and had no response when roused. EAGLE HEAD raced close up along the inside and was finished after the opening half mile. CHURCH SERVICE dropped back early, raced inside and tired. Owners:  4 - John J.
