Rio Sands wasn't as well drawn as the winner, but showed up most of the way and may find a similar race. Everything, rated 70, is also pretty exposed, but he had the worth of the draw here, and ran on well in the final furlong to take third. He's had plenty of chances, but has the ability to win a race.
The saddle slipped on Meathop.
