Footnotes
MERCANTE set the pace along the inside as an outer rival prompted around the first turn, vied with that one down the backstretch, dueled around the far turn, battled neck and neck through the final furlong and held. KUPUNA prompted outside of the eventual winner while tugging in the bit in the four path around the first turn, vied in the three path down the backstretch and around the far turn, dueled as the battled continued through the final furlong but missed at the wire. VOTE NO stalked along the inside, chased evenly through the lane and held show. OLE CRAZY BONE tracked three wide, pursued in the four path and between horses into the lane then ran on to miss show. CARCANO trailed along the inside, swung out to the five path entering the lane and stayed on mildly. LAMBETH tracked two wide and between horses, chased in the three path into upper stretch and gave way.
