Footnotes
VESTING (IRE) established the front and showed the way rated on the pace along the inside through sensible yet moderate splits, settled into a comfortable rhythm only leaving the rail to be just off the inside through the second turn, remained patiently handled as rivals got busy in behind, cut the corner into upper stretch given a notch to work with, received a tap from the crop to the right shoulder and came under a light drive a furlong out while already clear, received one sole reminder to the right side before being shown the crop and was geared down confidently to the finish, the outcome in no doubt. GREYSTONE saved ground at the tail of the field, came under coaxing tipped to the two path with five-sixteenths to go, angled five wide into upper stretch, offered up a mild kick to secure the place honors over a rival on the line. BE OF COURAGE along the inside early on, tipped out to track from the two path past the stands the initial time, came under urging at the five-sixteenths, spun just off the inside into upper stretch and ran on to procure the show honors. CLASSIC CREATION broke a half a beat slow, saved ground near the rear of the field, got set down angled three wide into upper stretch, offered up a mild bid. HAMILTON'S WAY tracked along the inside just off the pace early on, got forced to check off the heels of LORD FLINTSHIRE when that rival tucked directly in front with eight and a half furlongs to run heading into the second turn, settled once then just off the inside in mid pack, came under urging nearing the quarter pole before being let out taking the two path into upper stretch and weakened in the drive. ST JAMES THE GREAT two to three wide in pursuit, came under encouragement at the five-sixteenths, swung four wide into upper stretch and tired. LORD FLINTSHIRE tracked the leader just off the inside in closest aim of that rival, tucked inside eight and a half furlongs from home impeding HAMILTON'S WAY and forcing that rival to check off his heels, tracked inside thereafter coming under coaxing nearing the quarter pole, cut the corner into upper stretch and tired.
