Footnotes
FAIRY GODMOTHER chased just off the inside, bobbled heavily nearing the half mile pole forcing SINEAD to tip out briefly from in behind, chased just off the inside through the turn coming under urging at the five-sixteenths marker, spun three wide into upper stretch, briefly followed MARIA CALLAS before tipping out nearing the sixteenth pole, then surged late to just get up in the shadow of the wire to score. SCORCH coaxed from the gate, dueled inside of DANCINGWITHDESTINY, got headed with five-sixteenths to go, took the inside route roused into upper stretch, dug in under a drive coming again to take back command inside the eighth pole, dug in leading late and then got nailed on the wire. VERNON VALLEY chased just off the inside from just off the pace coming under encouragement near the quarter pole, angled five wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive running on to the finish, got brushed late by MARIA CALLAS in tight behind between rivals and ran on to secure the show honors. TUTHILLTOWN bobbled after the start, chased three wide under a ride from the five-sixteenths marker, angled six wide into upper stretch, kicked on belatedly to the finish. DANCINGWITHDESTINY dueled three then two wide with SCORCH to her inside, took over narrow command with five-sixteenths to go, spun three wide into upper stretch, dug in under threat from flanking challengers and succumbed just inside the eighth pole, then weakened in the late stages. MARIA CALLAS chased three then two wide coming under encouragement with five-sixteenths to go, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, got brushed by EMERGENCY NINE straightened away, tipped out to a small seam between rivals near the three or four path a furlong out and was stymied behind the aforementioned foe and VERNON VALLEY and was paused in hand from the sixteenth marker through to the finish. SINEAD chased two then three wide under a ride from the five-sixteenths marker, angled five wide into upper stretch and passed tired rivals to the end. ARINATA chased just off the inside under a ride with five-sixteenths to go, angled five wide for home, and weakened in the late stages. EMERGENCY NINE broke in at the start, chased four then three wide under a ride with five-sixteenths remaining, spun two to three wide for home, came in straightened away and brushed with MARIA CALLAS, then weakened in the late going. KAATERSKILL three then four wide in pursuit, got ridden along at the five-sixteenths pole, went seven to eight wide into upper stretch and tired. JULIET ON APPROACH hustled from the gate, chased along the inside brushing the temporary rail with seven-sixteenths to go, swung four wide for home and tired.
