Footnotes
GUY SMILEY brushed with rivals on both sides at the start, bumped between horses early on, pursued from midpack in the two path, cut the corner entering the lane, rallied while moving out to the four path in midstretch, changed leads leaving the furlong grounds, ranged up to bid at the sixteenth pole and drove past. OUR STARRY NIGHT vied for the lead with an outer rival while taking the turn in the two path, shook clear in upper stretch but was caught by an outer bidder late. BLAST FURNACE brushed with an outer rival leaving the gate, then bumped with that one after getting brushed by an inner foe early on, tracked along the inside, chased into midstretch, dueled for show with an outer rival through the late stages and narrowly prevailed. STORMTOWN brushed with an outer rival, then an inner foe, leaving the gate, bumped with his inner counterpart again early on, vied for the lead with an inner foe into the turn, got headed while drifting to the three path around that bend, failed to sustain pressure and chased the clearing leader in upper stretch, got outkicked for place at the furlong grounds, dueled with an inner bidder for show late but got bested. RESTORE (FR) brushed an outer rival early on, checked back from tight quarters inside of foes at the half mile pole, settled off of the pace along the inside, chased in the two path in upper stretch and ran on one paced. NYTTIME STORY lacked speed three wide, spun into the lane lane in the five path, floated wide leaving upper stretch and improved outside of rivals late. SOUTHERN BULLET brushed the gate and was off a step slow, trailed near the inside and failed to factor. MATH TUTOR pursued off of the pace in the two to four path into the lane, brushed with an inner rival in upper stretch and failed to factor. MODUS BESTIA leaned inwardly and brushed a rival at the start, stalked in the two path, then between horses around the turn, chased in the four path into the lane and weakened. FLING READY stalked in the three path, gave way while brushing with an outer rival in upper stretch and weakened between horses.
