Footnotes
BIG IF broke in and bumped, pressed the pace from outside, dueled around the turn and into the lane, battled through the final furlong and dug in to edge the runner-up. VERN GOSDIN broke well then ducked in shortly after, straightened course and went up to take a short lead from BIG IF, fought head to head with that rival around the bend, battled down the lane and yielded grudgingly in deep stretch. SWERVEDRIVER tracked the top pair from off the rail, pursued in the two path on the turn, finished willingly down the lane and held third. SMOKEM WICKED checked shortly after the start when VERN GOSDIN ducked in, got crowded along the rail and shuffled back by LUKA'S CHOICE early, trailed then went between rivals leaving the backstretch, picked up stride three then four wide on the turn, showed late interest and almost got by SWERVEDRIVER for third. OLYMPIAN THIRST bobbled a bit at the start, raced in mid-pack off the rail, dropped back two then three wide on the turn and lacked a response down the lane. LUKA'S CHOICE coaxed from the gate then paused briefly when VERN GOSDIN crossed in front shortly after, chased from inside off the pace, saved ground around the bend and failed to menace. SIP SIP CHARLY got bumped back by outer rival at the start, chased from off the pace staying away from the rail, navigated the turn four then five wide and was never a factor.
