Footnotes
CACTUS CLOSER broke out but came out in front then was corrected by the rider, showed the way under pressure to his outside by LOU'S ROOM, was asked at the quarter-pole, came under a left-handed crop in upper stretch, dueled gamely with the aforementioned foe to the finish and narrowly prevailed. LOU'S ROOM broke out at the start, pressed the pace on the outside then in the two path on the turn, was given his cue at the quarter-pole, dueled outside of the winner under a right-handed crop in the stretch, came in closer to that opponent at the sixteenth-pole, fought head and head to the finish and was denied while clear for the place. FOOLIN was well placed just off the pace under light restraint, came under some urging at the seven-sixteenths pole, drafted behind horses while saving ground on the turn, was asked in the two path at the quarter-pole, moved out in upper stretch and lacked the needed kick while clear for the show. FLOWLINE was hustled from the gate, bumped with FEAR NO ONE early, moved out while settling off the pace, was asked leaving the backstretch, chased in the three path on the turn, was driven into the stretch in the four path, moved further out in the drive and tired. SONGBIRD PRINCE (IRE) broke a half-step slow then dropped back, raced greenly around the five-eighths-pole, was rated near the rear while a bit keen, dropped back leaving the backstretch, saved ground while put to urging on the turn, came into upper stretch under a drive and failed to rally. FEAR NO ONE was hustled from the gate, bumped with FLOWLINE early, bucked and lost action just after making contact with that foe then dropped back, was urged along at the rear, went around the turn in the three path and was no factor.
