Footnotes
DARK BLUE raced up close on the inside, took over around the first turn, showed the way clear around the far turn, opened up at the top of the lane and held late. COLUMNIST got bumped on both sides leaving the gate, raced outside a rival near the back, angled four wide around the far turn, finished well under right handed urging but ran out of time. FLASH OF LIGHTNING got bumped between and steadied at the start, laid off the pace on the inside, moved into the two path on the far turn, steered out in the stretch and rallied for third. JOEY WHERE'D IT GO stalked in the two path, moved to the inside for the backstretch, came under a ride on the far turn, flattened in the lane and was transported off the track via equine ambulance. DESERT HAWK settled off the pace along the rail, asked around the far turn but could not rally. ROCKY COLAVITO tracked in the two path then found the rail on the first turn, went two then three wide around the second bend and weakened between rivals in the stretch. PASSION D ORO broke in and bumped, sat off the pace outside a rival, went three deep into the far turn, got bothered by inner rival at the three-eighths pole, cut to the inside, swung out at the top of the lane and proved no menace. LUCKY TIGER got forced out and bumped leaving the gate, chased from off the pace outside a rival, tipped three wide into the lane and weakened. DEBBIES GETTINGHOT came out and bumped LUCKY TIGER at the start, took control early then raced keenly when ceding command on the first turn, was closest in pursuit up the backstretch, continued in the two path on the far turn and weakened down the lane.
