Footnotes
AWESOME RUTA stalked three wide, bid turning for home, gained an advantage entering the lane, dug in as an outer rival offered a bid leaving upper stretch then held firm through the final furlong. TRUSTY RUSTY bumped and steadied back when put to crowded quarters between horses early on, tracked near the inside, then from the two path around the turn, took aim from the four path entering the lane, sustained a bid leaving upper stretch but was fended off thereafter. PAPPY'S REVENGE raced off of the pace in the three path and between horses, shifted out to the five path entering the lane, chased while hanging on his left lead until midstretch, stayed on to duel for show with an inner rival in the closing stages and prevailed. CALYCANTHUS was pinched between horses and steadied back early on, trailed along the inside, shifted to the three path in upper stretch, ran on among foes to bid for show at the sixteenth pole, battled with an outer rival for that position late but missed. NON FUNGIBLE pressed two wide, then between horses around the turn, vied between rivals turning for home, but yielded in upper stretch then lost show late. EVENING NEWS brushed with an outer foe soon after the start, set the pace near the inside, got headed by an outer pair nearing the quarter pole then weakened. COUPERIN was brushed between horses in the opening stages, raced off of the pace in the four path fanned six wide into the lane and tired.
