Footnotes
THE BEST DISTANCE raced in the two path around the first turn, tracked the leader on the inside up the backstretch, came around the far turn in the four path and dueled to the finish to get up for the win late. EL CHISPAZO raced in the three path around the first turn, led the way up the backstretch, saved ground around the far bend, dug in gamely in the lane and just missed. URANIUM raced in the two path early, stalked the leader on the outside up the backstretch, challenged from the three path coming around the far bend and couldn't go with the top two late, but kept on to the wire. EMBRACE MY UNCLE saved ground around the first turn, settled in the middle of the pack on the inside for the run up the backstretch, navigated the far turn from the two path and finished evenly. KHOPESH raced in the three path around the first bend, continued up the backstretch off the pace between horses, swung out to the five path coming around the far bend and showed no kick. STYLE ME ROYAL was pinched back leaving the gate, raced in the two path around the first turn, came up the backstretch off the pace on the inside, navigated the far turn still in the two path and made no bid. CUPID'S DUDE raced in the four path early, continued up the backstretch off the pace on the outside, came around the second turn in the three path and was empty from there.
