Footnotes
INITIALIZE stalked close up along the inside, bid inside of the leader leaving upper stretch and edged past. ZAPPING STRIKE vied for the lead with an outer rival around the turn, held sway in the two path in upper stretch, dug in to resist an inner challenge entering midstretch, but was bested in the final furlong, flopped back to her left lead in the final sixteenth and saved place from a pair of outer bidders. OUTOFPI stalked three wide, took aim in the four path entering the lane, but only managed to chase an inner pair in the final furlong, kept on to offer a late bid for place but missed and held show. CASTLE RUN pursued from midpack in the two path, shifted out to the five path in upper stretch and ran on willingly to be denied show. MILITARY CRUISER tracked two wide and between horses, then pursued evenly through the lane. INK LIES raced off of the pace in the three path and between horses, floated to the five path into the lane and failed to menace. E LION came in at the start, laid off of the pace along the inside, moved out to the four path entering upper stretch and failed to factor between horses. FIREBLADE was off slow, trailed along the inside, saved ground but to no avail. BORROWED TIME vied two wide, then in the three path and between horses in upper stretch, but faded at the furlong grounds. LOVE THAT SYMPHONY laid off of the pace in the four path, tucked down to the two path entering the lane, shifted out from behind rivals in upper stretch and made little impact.
