Footnotes
CLOSE THE GATE chased outside horses, swept to command entering the stretch, readily pulled away and was under brisk urging until inside the sixteenth pole. PONT AVEN drifted out bumping with REBEL PRINCE leaving the starting gate, sprinted to the front, raced slightly off the rail on the turn, was no match for the winner and held the place. GREYLINE STATION , three to four wide around the turn, advanced into the stretch, remained on his left lead in the stretch and failed to sustain his bid. FINNY , a bit rank between horses mid way down the backstretch, raced along the inner rail on the turn, chased the pace and tired in upper stretch. LITTLE LINO bumped REBEL PRINCE when drifting in at the start, chased the pace and weakened. FLIRTY BAJAN stayed along the inner rail on the turn, angled to the three path entering the stretch and weakened. NO MORE CALLS raced in the two path on the turn, swung to the four path at the head of the lane and gave way. SWEET SPY , slow to begin, was outrun. REBEL PRINCE , jostled both sides leaving the starting gate, was outrun. BEAUTIFUL QUALITY dropped back entering the turn.
