Race Summary

GHOSTZAPPER broke well, raced close up inside while well in hand, angled out on the turn, split rivals with a swift move, drew clear then ran away when asked and was ridden out to the finish. SILVER WAGON was outrun early, raced inside, responded when roused and finished gamely to earn the place while no real threat to the winner. SIR SHACKLETON dropped back early, raced inside and lacked a rally. POMEROY was outrun early, raced on the rail and had no response when roused. FOREST DANGER showed good speed while well out in the track, drifted out on the turn and tired entering the stretch. LOVE OF MONEY was sent to the front, set the pace along the inside, was finished after three quarters and drifted out while tiring in the stretch.
