Footnotes
GOLDEN AFTERNOON stalked from the two path, shifted outside of the embattled leading pair in upper stretch, ranged up to bid at the furlong grounds, edged an avantage as an outer foe challenge in the final sixteenth and held. RUN CURTIS RUN was brushed between horses and steadied out of cramped quarters between foes soon after the start, laid off of the pace along the inside, shifted out five wide in upper stretch, rallied to bid outside of the new leader in the final sixteenth but was denied. STEP FORWARD vied two wide, dueled into the lane, led in the final furlong but got outkicked by an outer pair late. T KRAFT stalked three wide, chased four wide and between horses in upper stretch then ran on evenly. AUTODRIVE brushed with an outer foe soon after the start, set the pace along the inside, vied with an outer rival around the turn, dueled with that one through midstretch but yielded with a sixteenth to go. SINE QUA NON settled two wide, then between horses around the turn and failed to factor. ALDER was subtly put to tight quarters between foes early on, trailed, took the turn three to four wide before fanning six wide into the lane and failed to factor. AMOUDI BAY was brushed on both sides soon after the start, got keen between rivals passing the half mile pole, tracked from midpack in the htree path around the turn, floated out five wide into upper stretch and faded between horses shortly after.
