Footnotes
CHUMMERS raced just off the inside through the first turn and then three paths off the rail down the backstretch, went three to four wide through the far turn coming under encouragement near the quarter pole and angled seven wide into upper stretch, rallied to take command just inside the three-sixteenths marker, dug in under threat and came out under a left handed crop bumping CAROLINE ST. BEAT near the sixteenth pole, then got brushed by that rival coming in under a right handed crop twice to the finish and held gamely by a neck to score. CAROLINE ST. BEAT along the inside through the first turn, settled two to three wide at the tail of the field, came under coaxing near the quarter pole and went eight wide at the top of the stretch, rallied to issue a challenge through the final furlong latching on the leader to the outside, got bumped by the top one coming out under a left handed crop just outside the sixteenth pole, then came in under his own crop right handed and brushed with CHUMMERS twice through to the finish fighting on well but was ultimately repelled to the wire. A LITTLE AT FIRST raced four wide into the first turn and came inwards bumping MANOR PARK into NEWLYN before NEWLYN bumped that foe back outwards into him, raced three to four wide through the first turn before chasing three wide from just off the pace, came under coaxing near the quarter pole and swung five wide at the head of the lane rallying to take narrow and brief command three-sixteenths from home, got headed inside that station and then kept on to the wire well clear for the show honors. NEWLYN got bumped by MANOR PARK due to pressure from A LITTLE AT FIRST with seven and a half furlongs remaining into the first turn, tracked the front just off the inside from near the rear of the field, came under encouragement at the five-sixteenths pole, swung four wide for home and improved position to the finish. SPIRIT OF NEW YORK broke out a step at the start, knocked heads with VOODOO DOLL early on before easing off that rival in track three then two wide in closest aim, advanced and seized command just inside the five-sixteenths pole, swung three then two wide into upper stretch under threat and yielded with three-sixteenths remaining, then weakened through to the finish. MANOR PARK got bumped two to three wide between foes into the first turn when A LITTLE AT FIRST came inwards and in turn bumped NEWLYN, then had NEWLYN come outwards and was bumped back into A LITTLE AT FIRST, tracked the pace along the inside coming under urging near the quarter pole, spun two to three wide into upper stretch and tired. VOODOO DOLL bobbled at the break, recovered to knock heads briefly with SPIRIT OF NEW YORK before establishing sole command under a rating hold just off the inside through the first turn and down the backstretch, tucked inside into the far turn and came under increased pressure to the outside, yielded the front just inside the five-sixteenths marker, took the inside route into upper stretch and folded.
