Main Track - Fast

Finish Wire:

Out of the gate Square Cut Diamond bobbled at the start and spotted the field four lengths before rushing up into contention as the field moved into the far turn.  Outstander led the field through an opening quarter of 22:3 as Storm Passage pressed the pace a half-length back in second as Square Cut Diamond now ran third a head in front of Pure Precision.  As the field moved through the far turn Outstander maintained his lead as Storm Passage was breathing down his neck in second.  Pure Precision was clearly in third as Square Cut Diamond was throwing in the towel after expending too much energy to get into the race after the tardy start.  In deep stretch, Pure Precision moved past the two early front runners, Outstander and Storm Passage, and went on to win The Tyro Stakes by three-quarters of a length.  Doc Wild, who was at the back of the pack early on, got up for second as Outstander ran third after setting the early pace.  Pure Precision is a two-year-old colt owned by Kinsman Stable, trained by John Tammaro, III and was ridden by Jose Velez, Jr.
