1. SMARTY JONES - Away alertly, was taken in hand going past the wire the first time, tracked the leader while racing well off the rail into the backstretch, continued in hand to the far turn, launched his rally leaving the three-eighths pole, angled to the inside of LION HEART midway on the turn, drew on nearly even terms with that one approaching the quarter pole, took charge at the top of the stretch, quickly opened a commanding lead in mid-stretch, extended his advantage when struck twice right handed leaving the furlong marker then drew off with authority under a vigorous hand ride.

2. ROCK HARD TEN - Fractious behind the gate delaying the start for several minutes, was strung out six wide around the first turn, raced in mid-pack while continuing wide down the backstretch, made a sharp move from outside to reach contention leaving the 3-furlong marker, angled to the inside midway on the turn, followed the winner into the stretch but was no match for that one while clearly besting the others.

3. EDDINGTON - Unhurried for a half while racing well off the rail, gradually gained five wide nearing the far turn, moved inside IMPERIALISM at the three-eighths pole, circled five wide advancing into the stretch, altered course between rivals at the three-sixteenths pole but failed to threaten while improving his position.

4. LION HEART - Was guided well off the rail while sprinting clear soon after the start, set a moderate pace while four wide down the backstretch, continued on the front while remaining well out from the rail around the far turn, relinquished the lead to the winner entering the lane then tired from his early efforts.

5. IMPERIALISM - Returned to the paddock prior to the post parade for a repair of his left front shoe, raced five wide around the first turn, continued wide in mid-pack for 6 furlongs then lacked a late response when called upon.

6. SIR SHACKLETON - Between rivals the first turn, chased the pace in the two to three path down the backstretch, angled to the inside while racing within striking distance to the top of the stretch then steadily tired thereafter.

7. BORREGO - Broke outward then steadied on heels soon after the start, saved ground to the quarter pole, angled out at the top of the stretch, raced between rivals past the eighth pole and came up empty.

8. LITTLE MATTH MAN - Was bumped and pinched back at the start, trailed for a good part of the way then failed to mount a serious rally.

9. SONG OF THE SWORD - Broke inward and bobbled at the start, raced close up for a half, made a run inside the winner to threaten nearing the far turn then gave way.

10. WATER CANNON - Failed to threaten.
