Footnotes
OSCAR'S HOPE coaxed from the gate, raced three then two wide in closest aim of the leader, spun three then two wide straightened away into upper stretch let out for the drive, took command at the three-sixteenths, drew clear under a drive and was geared down in the late stages. EPIC QUEST broke out at the start, showed the way in hand along the inside coming under coaxing near the quarter pole, took the inside route into upper stretch under threat to the outside, yielded the front with three-sixteenths to go and kept on to the wire to preserve the place honors over a rival on the line. WINNING METHOD coaxed from the start, chased along the inside under a ride from the five-sixteenths, spun three wide into upper stretch, kept on to the finish and missed for the place honors while clear of the rest. GRUNGE coaxed from the gate, chased two then three wide under a ride from three furlongs out, angled four wide into upper stretch, weakened. ROCKIES BALBOA coaxed from the start, chased four wide under urging from the five-sixteenths, tipped five wide into upper stretch, weakened in the drive. SCRUTINATOR broke out at the start, chased six then five paths off the inside down the backstretch until tucked inside half a mile from home, got coaxed along at the three-eighths marker, continued in the inside route into upper strecth and tired. STREAM IT broke a half a beat slow, chased five then four paths off the inside down the backstretch before tucking three wide through the turn, came under urging at the seven-sixteenths, cornered three wide at the head of the stretch and tired. THE PAULY FACTOR coaxed from the gate, chased three then two wide under a ride from the seven-sixteenths, went three wide for home and faltered in the stretch.
