Footnotes
OPTIMUS KAT never far back while off the inside, crept closer four down to three wide far turn, dueled late in the bend and into the lane, salted that foe away and drove clear under firm handling. GASOLINE lacked early foot, continued to be outrun into the far turn just off the inside, dropped to the rail, cut the corner into the stretch, moved out a bit and finished willingly through some traffic to be clear for the second spot, no real threat to the winner. SIMPLEXITY (IRE) away well, dueled up front in the two path, briefly shook clear far turn, dueled with the winner into the stretch then proved no match to the wire, caught for the place. TANGO MIKE MIKE raced in mid pack while off the rail, continued in the two path second turn, came three wide for the drive, improved with a mild rally enough late for the show. CINCO RICHIE in the second flight while racing just inside the winner, in some traffic while that one advanced into the far turn, clear for the drive, finished up evenly. FLOTATION STATION also in the second flight while inside the winner and between horses into the final turn, came up empty in the drive as well. CASTILLE in a bit tight into the first turn inside, moved out to be three wide soon after, continued in the three path through the final turn, lacked a closing response through the lane. GABARRA dueled up front closest to the inside, first to blink early in the final turn, continued to weaken through the stretch. CRYPTOZONIC lacked speed while four wide through the first turn, continued back while four wide through the second, no response. LIL BRO COOP fell back to trail after the start and was never involved.
