Main Track: Fast    Turf: Soft

Finish Wire:

The field was off to a good start as Spruce Run was allowed to take the lead as he walked the field through pedestrian like fractions of 26.79, 52.72, 1:18.12 over the soft going.  Midnight Express was sitting second for three-quarters of a mile no more than a length back as Remind was running third.  In the stretch Spruce Run was holding on to a desperate head as American Freedom made a five wide bid to get along side the leader as the two passed the sixteenth pole.  At the wire American Freedom had gotten there first by a long neck over the race pacesetter Spruce Run who settled for second a neck in front of Royal Affirmed who was up for the show spot.  American Freedom is a seven-year-old gray/roan gelding owned by Freedom Acres, Inc., trained by Jamie Woodington and was ridden by Jose Velez, Jr.

American Freedom holds on by a neck to win The Red Bank Handicap.
