Footnotes
TWILIGHT DELIGHT stalked two wide, tipped three wide entering the lane, sustained gradual progress to bid at the sixteenth pole and wrestled an advantage at the wire. INITIALIZE led narrowly while vying with an outer rival into and around the turn, shook free in upper stretch, held sway through midstretch but got collared in the final sixteenth and was nailed at the wire. GANAAS tracked from the two path, swung to the five path while inching closer into the lane, sustained slow progress to bid in the closing stages but needed more. SMOKEY SMOKEY pursued from midpack along the inside, shifted out to the five to six path in midstretch, offered a late kick to close in on the leaders in the final sixteenth but ran out of ground. MOON SNIPER stalked along the inside then chased evenly. OUR STARRY NIGHT pursued from midpack in the four path, fanned out to the seven path entering the lane and ran on willingly. B D VALESKI laid off of the pace in the three path, spun to the five path entering the lane, shifted inwardly then stayed on mildly between horses. THE MINKSTER lacked speed in the three path and made little impact. MOUNTAIN BEAR (IRE) pursued from midpack in the three path, shifted to the six path entering the lane then lacked progress between rivals while hanging on his left lead. UTOPIAN trailed along the inside, shifted to the four path in upper stretch and failed to factor. BAL A KAZOO saved ground well back but to no avail. ORTLEY AVENUE (IRE) vied for the lead with an inner rival into and around the turn but weakened between horses in upper stretch.
