1st: #6 Killer Instinct (Mb Stables/R.M. Hernandez): Tracked early leader from the three-path. Made incremental progress down the backside to reach the leader’s flank going into the turn. Took command just outside the furlong marker and kept foes at bay in the latter stages.
2nd: #4 Force Of The Shark (Arindel/E. Maldonado): Rail trip behind the tracking trio. Tipped-out for the drive. Found room and ran-on well to get within a length of the winner and secure the runner-up spot.
3rd: #9 Cheveley Park (Mo Mentum Farm/A.A. Gallardo): Made the lead shortly after the break. Lost lead after a mile. Continued on to save the show honors.
4th: #3 Uranus (Smokey Stover/C. Kimes): Between runners in tracking flight. Moved 3-4 wide while inside of winner. Flattened-out late.
Congratulations to Killer Instinct and Mb Stables on their G3 OK Derby victory!
