Footnotes
HOLD YOUR APPLAUSE was pulling on the rider from the start but rated nicely while being kept two to three wide in the clear, was always close up then went to challenge for the lead at the quarter pole, opened up when set down at the top of the stretch and powered away from the rest while drifting out some in the end. CLIFF DIVER stalked the pacesetter from the rail while under hold, bid for the lead approaching the quarter pole but proved no match for HOLD YOUR APPLAUSE when that one got away, kept on well under strong handling and urging and saved the place while clear of the next horse. PALUXY tracked well behind the pace through the first half mile, had COURAGEOUSLY to the outside, launched a bid with three furlongs to run but became stuck behind horses from the five-sixteenths to the top of the stretch, got clear in upper stretch and responded to strong handling and was gaining late but ran out of time. COURAGEOUSLY tracked two off the rail near the rear of the field with PALUXY to the inside to the half, started a run from the three furlong marker, got a clean run into the stretch, but flattened out a bit in the stretch. RUSSIAN TANK left alone to dictate the pace, set slow fractions to the far turn, tried to fight back when challenged by the eventual winner at the quarter pole but proved no match and weakened in the stretch. THICK HAZE saved ground throughout while tracking a few lengths behind the pace, did not respond when asked on the far turn and was outrun in the late stages. LEVY lacked any speed from the start, went unhurried at the rear of the field and lacked a rally. This race had a timing discrepancy or malfunction and was re-timed using video technology to arrive at the most accurate time.
