Footnotes
BITE AND STRIKE raced under a firm hold early on just off the inside just off the leader, tucked inside through the turn and was patiently handled until roused spinning just off the inside into upper stretch, rallied to issue a challenge inside the final furlong and was up in the final jumps over his barn mate to prevail. VETTRIANO coaxed from the gate, showed the way three then two wide down the backstretch before tucking closer to the rail through the turn, came under coaxing just outside the quarter pole before being let out taking the inside route into upper stretch, dug in under growing threat to the outside and was caught in the final strides by his barn mate while clear for the place honors. WAR STRIDE coaxed from the start, chased four paths off the inside down the backstretch and then just off the inside through the turn coming under encouragement with five-sixteenths to go, spun three wide into upper stretch, weakened in the late stages. CANDYTOWN buckled badly at the start and was bumped by VACATION DANCE breaking inwards and conceded four to five lengths to the front, chased five to six paths off the inside down the backstretch and then two to three wide through the turn urged along from three furlongs out, angled five wide into upper stretch and tired. VACATION DANCE broke in at the start bumping CANDYTOWN, chased five then four wide under a ride from the seven-sixteenths marker, tipped six wide into upper stretch, tired.
