Footnotes
AIR OF DEFIANCE vied for the lead with an outer rival, dueled with that one around the turn, got headed at the five sixteenths pole, fought on to sustain the battle through the lane and re-forged an advantage at the wire. SALTWATER COWBOY vied for the lead with an inner foe, dueled around the turn, wrestled an advantage with five sixteenths to go, clung that advantage as his inner counterpart persisted through the final furlong but got outfinished and missed at the wire. DR. STORM progressed between horses at the nine sixteenths pole to be right behind the top pair with a half mile to go, chased those embattled leaders from the two path around the turn, proved no match for them while hanging on his left lead through the lane then lasted for show. UNLOAD trailed along the inside then stayed on mildly but needed more to reel in show. HIGHLY FLAMMABLE raced forwardly outside of the top pair and from the four path but faded around the turn. AIR INVASION chased along the inside, shifted to the four path entering the lane and tired.
