Another long shot, Talk Is Money, finished third in a field of nine. Favored Outofthebox finished fifth. Outofthebox was a factor early but faded on the backstretch, perhaps dashing his Kentucky Derby prospects.
Talk Is Money second.
Getting through on the rail, Thunder Blitz moved to challenge Tour Of The Cat on the far turn. Turning for home, Talk Is Money moved up on the outside to join the two leaders. Thunder Blitz, still on the inside, took a length lead leaving the three-sixteenths pole and widened his margin with every stride to the wire. Radical Riley was fourth. This year he has finished second twice and third once in allowance races.
