Footnotes
KERAUNOS stood in the gate as the field was dispatched, spotting the field four or five lengths head start, settled along the rail and was unhurried to the far turn, started to run on from the five-sixteenths marker, swung four wide into the stretch and produced a bold rally under strong handling and left handed urging to be up in time. BRILLIANT SPIN got squeezed after the break when the horses on either side converged in front, moved to the rail through the first turn, then was inside of the trio tracking the pair up front, went after the lead approaching the quarter pole then bid three wide into the stretch, gained a clear advantage by mid-stretch but was nailed at the wire by the winner. SUMMER LOVER broke inward at the break and put BRILLIANT SPIN in tight quarters, then got forward position and stalked TRANSACTIONAL (GB) just off the flank all the way down the backstretch and into the far turn, put more pressure on approaching the stretch, then briefly had a head in front at the top of the stretch before yielding to an outside rival and was outfinished. TRANSACTIONAL (GB) assumed the early lead without much effort and proceed to take the field through the first half while getting mild pressure from SUMMER LOVER to the outside, dug in when that rival ramped up the pressure on the far turn, responded when set down at the top of the stretch but failed to change leads and weakened. SUPREME LEADER was allowed to settle from the break and not asked for much early, bided time at the back of the tracking group, waited for room on the inside through the turn but was blocked to the stretch then had a mild response once clear. WRINKLE ROAD broke in at the start and took the path from BRILLIANT SPIN, raced three wide with the tracking group, finished with mild late interest but was not a serious threat. BIG COMMERCE raced two deep between horses in the second flight, came under a ride on the far turn held position to mid-stretch then was outfinished.
