Winner-B C, 3, by Angel Fever-Mr. Prospector.

Trainer-N. Drysdale.

Scratched: Globalaize.

Overweights: None.

Fusaichi Pegasus: Broke to the inside, was hurried while working his way to the rail by the first turn, continued to save ground in hand while advancing on the backstretch and around the second turn, swung out with deft move approaching the final quarter to be seven wide when straightened for the drive, was roused three times with the whip on the right side and edged clear under vigorous hand urging.

Aptitutde : With the winner entering the backstretch while four or five wide between horses, continued with Fusaichi Pegasus while inside that one approaching the stretch, eased outside him nearing the final sixteenth, finished determinedly, but wasn't good enough.

Impeachment : Outrun until the stretch, while saving ground, rallied steadily along the inside to finish willingly while unable to threaten the top two.

More Than Ready : Moved inside soon after the break to stalk the dueling leaders from the rail, slipped through along the rail to gain about even terms for the lead when straightened for the drive, then failed to sustain the needed momentum.

Wheelaway : Worked his way inside on the first turn, came out five wide approaching the stretch, reached the front between calls in the upper stretch, then lugged in badly, bothering Captain Steve, forced that one in and flattened out.

China Visit : Unhurried early, followed the winner seven wide on the second turn while rallying, then, after being bumped lightly about the sixteenth pole when Captain Steve drifted out, lacked a further response.

Curule : Leaned in at the start and bumped High Yield, raced within striking distance while three wide around the second turn, angled out five wide for the drive, but came up empty.

Captain Steve : Within easy striking distance while between horses nearing the end of the backstretch, was put to a drive beginning the second turn, rallied three wide to gain a slight advantage a quarter-mile out, then, after being bothered in the upper stretch, drifted out soon after while tiring.

War Chant : Unhurried on the backstretch while racing just outside Fusaichi Pegasus, was finished after seven furlongs.

Deputy Warlock : Outside on the back stretch, came to the extreme outside for the drive and passed tired rivals.

Trippi : Went up to alternate for the lead outside Hal's Hope, battled on about even terms until the stretch and gave way.

Exchange Rate : Five or six wide throughout, was finished at the far turn.

Anees : Swerved in at the start while breaking awkwardly, saved ground but failed to menace.

The Deputy : Failed to mount a rally while wide throughout.

High Yield : Bumped at the start and caught five wide entering the first turn, continued wide and was finished approaching the stretch.

Hal's Hope : Dueled inside for a mile and tired.

Commendable : Was also wide while not a factor.

Ronton : Off a bit slow, failed to reach contention.

Graeme Hall: Showed speed for seven furlongs, gave way and was eased.
