RACE THREE TRIP NOTES by The Wizard on Saturday, July 11, 2009

3-2 favorite BIG RUSHLET, took command from the start but was quickly challenged by ALPHA CAPO. Those two battled tooth and nail from the turn to mid stretch, with BIG RUSHLET drawing clear with authority and holding on gamely over SUB FUTZ, who closed willingly on the outside to be a clear 2nd. Tough trip for ONE LUCKY DEVIL, who broke slowly and was forced to be hard used chasing wide throughout. Moved to challenge at the top of the stretch. Never stopped trying, until inside the 1 1/6th pole, when he simply ran out of gas. Prefers to race up closer to the pace. BIG RED RANGER forced the pace along the inside entering the turn. Taken back off dueling leaders, then made a second move in the stretch to just nose out Devil while racing on the rail throughout.
