Stallone and Supreme Bet amongst slowest to jump - Stallone moved across to rail before Supreme Bet moved up and sought to take position on rail in front of Stallone. As Supreme Bet went alongside Stallone that dog moved sharply off the rail and carted Supreme Bet very wide - both dogs scrambling for their footing as they buffeted each other for supremacy. Supreme Bet did the better to reach fourth at the line after seemingly being out of contentiion.
