It was starting to get a little scary, as Singing Rose (Congaree), Heir to the Stone (Birdstone), and Passum Pattie (Peace Rules) rolled off three straight wins for Maiden Watch. Reality returned with thirds for Texas Birdstone (Birdstone) and King Congo (Congaree).

Glory Gold (Medaglia d'Oro) scratched on July 9. Entries for Singing Rose (Congaree), Heir to the Stone (Birdstone), Texas Birdstone (Birdstone), Passum Pattie (Peace Rules), and King Congo (Congaree).
