Footnotes
SALUTO broke well from outside, cleared and crossed over to the inside, drifted in a bit at the top of the lane, opened up under a tap of the left handed crop shortly after, widened in the final furlong under mild urging and coasted in the last sixteenth. KING KAMEHA was off slow to begin and trailed early, lugged out and passed a rival early on the turn, came back to the three path, rallied between runners in the lane and gained second. JONNY'S CAP stumbled laving the gate, had to steady behind FUMANO'S FIRE early, chased along the rail into the turn, tipped two wide at the quarter pole, could not summon the needed rally but was able to save third. CUPID COWBOY hustled form the gate, chased off the rail while out of range early, went two wide around the bend and failed to rally. FUMANO'S FIRE away quickly and chased inside the leader early, switched to the two path for the turn, remained two wide into the lane and weakened. SMOKE RIDER came away slow on the inside, tracked two wide into the turn then quickly moved inside and weakened in the drive. SMOKEM WICKED was off slow at the dispatch, raced near the back early, fell back to last when getting forced out by KING KAMEHA early on the turn, angled back to the three path and was never a factor.
