Footnotes
MERITED pressed two wide, bid in upper stretch, dueled with the early leader through the final furlong and prevailed. HILLBILLY DAYDREAM set the pace along the inside as the eventual winner prompted, got collared by that one in upper stretch, battled through the final furlong but was bested. WHITE CARGO was bumped and forced outwardly by an inner foe at the start, trailed along the inside, progressed in the two path in upper stretch, steadied briefly at the furlong grounds then recovered to run on and edge show late. SKYNET chased along the inside, bid for show entering the lane, vied for show with outer rivals thereafter but got outkicked late. BIG APPLE PATRICK broke out and bumped a foe at the start, raced off of the pace in the three path, shifted to the five path entering the lane and lacked a bid. GOOD MOJO stalked three wide, chased in the four path around the turn then gave way between horses. JOIN stalked along the inside, chased in the two to three path around the turn then faded between rivals leaving upper stretch. GHOSTWRITTEN broke a step slow, pursued from midpack in the four path, gave way in the five path around the turn then caved in the six path entering the lane.
