What a great race. State Treasurer got steppy off the gate from the rail, interfered (in my opinion) with the trailing horse Captive Audience and getting away dead last and looked out of it completely... Brett Miller left hard from the 5 hole with Dancin Yankee and had that one rolling on the engine, and Yannick came gunning for the lead from the 7 hole with the old warrior Foiled Again.... Miller was content to sit a two hole and Foiled Again took over and took them to a half in 54 and change before Mark MacDonald pulled Bandolito first over and went after the grizzled veteran. Bandolito came hard but couldn't get past the number pad down the backside, and Jody Jamieson pulled Apprentice Hanover three wide past the stalled flow with a big brush... And amazingly from the very back Christoforou had State Treasurer out and rolling with a huge move himself from dead last to follow Jamieson's cover at the three quarters... Apprentice Hanover and Foiled Again battled all around the last turn and when it looked like Jamieson was going by, the old horse dug in and kept him out a little longer. Eventually though Apprentice Hanover wore down the old horse but Christoforou was absolutely flying at this time and needing every inch of track got up just in the shadow of the wire to win an absolute thriller... Great race.
