Footnotes
MERCANTE stalked two wide, vied around the far turn, wrestled a narrow advantage entering the lane, battled with his inner game counterpart through the final furlong and held firm. BRILLIANT BERTI moved forward to show the way along the inside into the first turn, vied with an outer bidder around the far turn, got subtly headed by that one entering the lane, dug in and dueled through upper stretch, fought on doggedly to sustain the battle through the final furlong but was fended off. LAGYNOS bumped with an inner rival at the start, settled well back along the inside, then in the two path around the far turn, picked up stride while swinging out to the five path entering the lane, rallied to gradually close in on the top pair through the final furlong but needed more. EVENT DETAIL tracked along the inside, chased in the two to three path and along with an outer foe into the final furlong and ran on evenly. GIGANTE bumped with an outer rival while put to tight quarters between horses at the start, trailed along the inside and made little impact. SILENT HEART tracked three path, crept into striking range three wide into the far turn, but lacked further progress and weakened between rivals in upper stretch. CALL PROTECTION laid off of the pace along the inside, but went wrong passing the half mile pole, was pulled up and transported off of the track in an equine ambulance.
