Footnotes
HEAVENS EXPRESS raced at the back of the pack on the inside through the early going, swung out to the six path to began a bid entering the stretch and gained ground rapidly late to kick clear. SPECIAL AFFAIR raced off the pace up the backstretch, began a bid from the five path coming around the bend, dueled in upper stretch and was caught late. ST BERNADETTE bumped with the horse to her inside leaving the gate, chased the leader between horses up the backstretch, navigated the bend from the three path and kept on to the wire. HUMOR SENSE stalked the pace setters on the outside early, came around the turn in the four path and was outkicked in the stretch. SHE STOPPED SHORT brushed with the horse to her outside at the start, raced at the back of the pack through the opening stages, swung out to the five path coming around the bend and passed tiring horses from there. MEAN TO ME brushed with the horse to her inside leaving the gate, raced in the middle of the pack up the backstretch, came around the turn in the five path and was empty in the lane. GO GO STAR led the way on the inside up the backstretch, dueled from the rail around the bend and faded in the stretch. PADRINO'S GOLD was pinched back leaving the gate, trailed well behind the field racing up the backstretch, saved ground around the turn and made no bid. LA TREMENDA bumped with the horse to her outside at the break, recovered to chase the leader from the rail up the backstretch, dropped back while racing in the two path around the bend and tired in the lane. TAPRIXIE tracked the leader between horses up the backstretch, continued around the turn in the three path and tired from there.
