Race Comments: DESERT CODE unhurried
off the rail early, angled in on the hill, came out into the stretch and again in upper stretch and rallied under urging to
get up late. DIABOLICAL broke inward, chased between foes then outside a rival, came three deep into the stretch, rallied
to a short lead outside rivals in deep stretch but was caught late. STORM TREASURE squeezed a bit at the start, settled off
the rail, came out five wide into the stretch and gained the show late. FLEETING SPIRIT (IRE) a bit slow to begin, settled
just off the inside then along the rail and rallied along the fence in the stretch. HEROS REWARD saved ground chasing the
pace, came out a bit in the stretch, was between foes in midstretch and was outfinished. SALUTE THE COUNT steadied when crowded
at the start, settled just off the inside then angled in down the hill and finished with interest inside while a bit close
off heels late. TRUE TO TRADITION saved ground chasing the pace, came out in the stretch, was between foes in midstretch and
lacked the needed late kick. ONE UNION stalked outside then alongside a rival, also came out in the stretch, was between horses
in midstretch and lacked a solid final response. GET FUNKY dropped back outside early, chased outside foes, came three deep
into the stretch and could not summon the needed rally. CALIFORNIA FLAG had speed off the rail then angled in and dueled inside,
came out in the stretch, inched away in upper stretch but weakened in the final furlong. MR. NIGHTLINGER sped to the early
lead off the inside, dueled outside a rival down the hill, drifted four wide into the stretch and weakened. ROUSE THE CAT
chased between horses then outside a rival, continued off the inside, came four wide into the stretch and did not rally. IDIOT
PROOF stalked off the inside then angled in on the hill, came out in the stretch, was between foes in midstretch and weakened.
ONLY ANSWER (GB) chased between horses, was in a bit tight on the hill and also weakened. Rail on hill at zero.
