In an open length win by a dominant runner:

"Point Given is widening with every jump... 8.. 10.. now 12 lengths in front of his nearest pursuer... Coming to the wire, and the Preakness winner will add a Belmont triumph to his list of feats as he excoriates this field in the mile and a half 'Test of the Champion'..."
