was set by <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">K\u2019s State Of Mind <\/B>and <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Raul\u2019s Prospector<\/B> as both these horse shot out of the gate and

<\/SPAN><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Sadfly\u2019s Bingo<\/B> and morning line favorite <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Cyborg Sid <\/B>sat comfortably 4 \u00bd lengths behind the leader but failed to menace.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>As reported in the preview, <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Raul\u2019s Prospector <\/B>showed stamina problems in the stretch and as they made the turn jockey S Blood saw nothing but finish line ahead of him aboard <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">K\u2019s State Of Mind <\/B>and a win looked in sight.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>However, as he looked behind his shoulder he caught a glimpse of <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Biting Insects <\/B>and jockey R Neely passing horses as if he was in the HOV lane in five o\u2019clock traffic.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>With 1\/16 left to go, it was still uncertain if <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Biting Insects <\/B>would have enough track to catch the leader and S Blood was urging <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">K\u2019s State Of Mind

than 100 yards left <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Biting Insects <\/B>rushed in front to finish only \u00be lengths ahead in a race that 1<SUP>st<\/SUP> through 5<SUP>th<\/SUP> place was
