SWEETNORTHERNSAINT prompted the pace two to three wide, moved to near even terms for the lead leaving the far turn, opened a clear lead leaving the quarter pole, shied inward once headed at the three sixteenths pole, drifted out in mid stretch and was clearly best of the rest. HEMINGWAY'S KEY was outrun early, saved ground to the quarter pole, angled out in upper stretch, drifted out briefly near the furlong marker then finished willingly once straightened to gain a share. BROTHER DEREK broke a step slow then steadied soon after, checked off the heels of BARBARO under the wire the first time, altered course to the four path, rushed up entering the backstretch, chased the leaders while continuing four wide into the far turn then faded from the quarter pole. GREELEY'S LEGACY was steadied early, raced wide and failed to menace. PLATINUM COUPLE flashed only brief speed and dropped back after six furlongs. LIKE NOW was away alertly, sprinted clear nearing the first turn, set a pressured pace towards the inside leaving the backstretch, dueled around the final turn, was headed leaving the five-sixteenths marker then tired in upper stretch. DIABOLICAL was angled to the rail nearing the first turn, chased the leaders for six furlongs then faltered. BARBARO broke through the gate pre race then was pulled up when breaking down in his right hind when nearing the wire the first time.
