Footnotes
BALL OF FIRE raced off the pace, advanced inside on the backside, bid three wide on the far turn, rallied between rivals in the stretch, kicked in willingly and drew clear under urging. RED SKY MORNING raced off the pace inside, came three wide into the lane, rallied outside and finished well outside for second. VESPARO raced two wide off the pace, bid four wide on the far turn, dueled and was outkicked. FULLY AUTHORIZED stalked outside, bid entering the far turn, took over, dueled into the stretch and weakened. THAT SUN OF A GUN hopped at the start, trailed the field and passed tired rivals. THINGAMABOB stalked the pacesetter, chased and gave way on the far turn. TRANSACTIONAL (GB) set the pace on the inside, dueled on the far turn, then steadied at the quarter pole while tiring.
