Footnotes
CLASSICIST went four then three wide through the first turn, chased four paths off the inside down the backstretch, tucked three wide through the far turn and came under coaxing with seven-sixteenths to go, angled five wide into upper stretch, rallied to take command a furlong out, edged away briefly before coming under late threat near the finish and held safe to prevail. DREAMLIKE coaxed from the gate, raced three then two wide through the first turn, chased three then two wide coming under coaxing at the three-eighths pole, swung three to four wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive and surged late to miss at the finish. OTELLO coaxed from the start, raced three then two wide through the first turn, prompted the leader from the outside three wide coming under coaxing near the quarter pole, took over narrow command swinging three to four wide into upper stretch, dug in between foes and was collared a furlong out, kept on to preserve the show honors on the line. LE GRIS coaxed from the gate, cut the pace from the two path under the watchful eye of the aforementioned foe to the outside, came under encouragement with five-sixteenths to run, yielded the front spinning two to three wide at the head of the stretch, dug in heads apart to the eighth pole, then kept on knocking heads with OTELLO to the finish but was ultimately bested at the end for the show honors. WAITLIST two then three wide through the first turn, chased four to five wide under prolonged urging from the half mile pole, tipped six wide into upper stretch and offered no response. KINETIC chased just off the inside and then along the inside under a ride from three furlongs out, took the inside route into upper stretch, weakened in the late stages. WHITTINGTON PARK coaxed from the gate, chased just off the inside under encouragement with seven-sixteenths remaining, went four wide at the head of the stretch, trailed throughout.
