BEHAVING BADLY gained the advantage early, raced in the three path while dueling inside of BENDING STRING, put her away in the final furlong but couldn't contain PUSSYCAT DOLL in the late going. BENDING STRINGS went up early to contest the pace outside of BEHAVING BADLY, battled forwardly into the final furlong and weakened. ATLAS VALLEY, within striking distance always, raced in behind horses to the lane, came out seven or eight wide for the drive but lacked a late response. NOSSA CANCAO (BRZ), a big sluggish to begin and outsprinted to the stretch while four wide, maneuvered out eight wide for the drive and lacked a closing bid. SPLENDID BLENDED bobbled badly at the start when the ground appeared to break from beneath her, recovered to follow the leaders four or five wide into the stretch, then flattened out. EASTERN LILY tired while racing near the inside. MALIBU MINT stumbled badly at the start and unseated the rider. Owners:  8 - Michael E. Pegram; 7 - Earnhardt, III, Patti and Hal J.; 9 - John D.
