Footnotes
DEFENDING ALBERT vied two wide and between horses into and around the turn, dueled with his inner counterpart while floating to the three to four path in upper stretch, forged an advantage leaving the three sixteenths pole then drifted out subtly while driving clear. MARGIN OF AIR trailed along the inside before shifting out to the four path into the turn, fanned out to the six then seven path in upper stretch then rallied with a late gain to reach place in the closing stages. COOL COWBOY prompted outside of the top pair, failed to sustain pressure while being floated to the four path entering the lane, shifted inwardly while sustaining pursuit in the final furlong, issued a rebid for place but got outkicked. GARDINER led narrowly inside of an outer pair into and around the turn, dueled with his most immediate counterpart whlie moving off of the inside in upper stretch, got headed passing the three sixteenths pole then yielded between horses in the final furlong. SHOW TIME tracked from the two path, chased in the five to six path in upper stretch and lacked a bid.
