ARTIE SCHILLER, away in front and taken in hand, eased outside of front-running GULCH APPROVAL to press that one three or four wide, bumped lightly with that one when gaining a slight edge entering the stretch, then was outfinished in a long drive. GOOD REWARD tracked the pace from early on while four or five wide, moved boldly between foes entering the upper stretch but couldn't muster a final response. HONOR IN WAR followed the leaders five or six wide, was a factor for the last eighth and failed to offer a closing bid. DRUM MAJOR gained a forward position near the inside early, raced within easy striking distance to the stretch and was empty. GULCH APPROVAL gained the lead early, raced under light rating near the inside, lost the edge to ARTIE SCHILLER nearing the final quarter, was bumped by that one and steadied lightly, then dropped back.
