9/6: STRONG COMMITMENT runs 4th
STRONG COMMITMENT broke well and settled five lengths off the pace while caught three wide around the first turn. He maintained that position in the three path down the backstretch until Leparoux sent him four wide around the second turn. He put forth a mild rally late in the stretch, but was no match for the winner, who set pedestrian fractions on the front end, as STRONG COMMITMENT finished 4th, defeated by 8 1/2 lengths.

8/1: STRONG COMMITMENT runs 5th
STRONG COMMITMENT broke out at the start and instead of securing a stalking position a few lengths off the pace as planned, Marquez decided to keep STRONG COMMITMENT at the back of the field putting him twelve lengths off a very moderate pace. He held that position down the backstretch commencing his rally into the 2nd turn as he closed swiftly from eleven lengths back, but he could not get to the winner finishing 5th, defeated by 1 3/4 lengths.
