Footnotes
SOARING HIGH tracked in the three path, advanced inside of rivals into the far turn, progressed before shifting to the four path to take aim on the well traveling leader entering the lane, sustained gradual progress to range up at the sixteenth pole and edged past late. PHANTOM BLUE showed the way in the two path, remained in hand near the inside around the far turn, drew clear in upper stretch, gamely maintained a margin from an outer pursuer through midstretch, but got collared by that one late and was grudgingly bested. SISTER JEAN raced close up in the two path, bumped with an inner puller leaving the five furlong pole, sustained aim on the leader from the three path around the far turn, but proved no match in upper stretch, got outkicked for place shortly after and gave way. EPISIST trailed in the two path, advanced while bumping with rivals on both sides inside the three furlong pole then stayed on mildly. BUTTERFLY JASMINE got keen while off of the pace along the inside into the first turn, pulled inside of rivals with five furlongs to go, but was bumped and put to tight rail quarters leaving that marker, bumped with an outer rival again while fading leaving the three furlong pole and gave way. HAYWINII pressed the leader from the three path and between horses, but gave way into the turn, bumped with an inner foe inside the three furlong pole then continued to weaken. MASS stalked outside of the top pair and from the four path then faded entering the far turn.
