Saturday, October 26
CAPTAIN FEAR NOT (SIMPSON) was parked the mile, challenged to the third call, weakened in the final turn.
SEEB GERE (SIMPSON) was wide the final turn, stacked wider into the lane, hit stride late and closed well once into gear.
ERIN (W4-7) was used a long way to the lead, put away a challenger in the final turn, dug in but was nailed by the pocket horse. Beaten favorite can turn it around in next.
