Band of Buda’s sceams down the stretch to pull off a slight upset beating the favorite Jupiter’s Moons (IRE). Jupiter’s Moons (IRE) stepped away from the gates and established a clear lead. He looked to have everything his was with zero pressure until the very end. Jupiter’s Moons (IRE) had a three and a half length lead over his closest rival at the halfway point and was thirteen and a half lengths ahead of last place Band of Budas.

 

As the runners continued to race around the turn for home Band of Budas was the only runner in the field making up ground on Jupiter’s Moons (IRE). The distance to make up seemed to be too much. As they entered the stretch Band of Budas stepped it up a notch and the crowd seemed to fill with anticipation. As Band of Budas kept closing ground on Jupiter’s Moons (IRE) the noise level got louder. In the final jumps Band of Budas got by Jupiter’s Moons (IRE) for a three quarter length win. It was nearly another eight lengths back to third place Woodly.
