Shoe Loves Shoe ($9.60), equipped with blinkers by trainer Horacio de Paz, dueled early with I Want Mo, put that one away turning for home and kept on going to take this starter allowance as jockey Kendrick Carmouche won for third time from four mounts on today's card.

Go Big Or Go Home, first off the Diodoro claim, rallied for second.

Order of finish: 5-7-8-4
