Footnotes
TAM TAM showed the way uncontested into the backstretch, remained in hand along the inside around the far turn, drew clear once more when let out in upper stretch then widened under a drive in the final furlong. FAITHFUL DEPARTED stalked along the inside, took aim outside of the well-traveling leader while tipping to the three path entering the lane, but only managed to chase through midstretch then proved no match in the final furlong and held place. BRAIDA (FR) tracked from the two path, awaited racing room behind foes turning for home, ran on in pursuit into the final furlong, tipped out nearing the final sixteenth then was denied place. STORM'S WAKE stuttered a step at the start, laid off of the pace in the two path, then three wide around the far turn, swung out to the eight path into upper stretch and stayed on with a mild kick. DEEP LEARNING raced at the rear along the inside, saved ground while improving around the far turn but failed to reach contention. SOLOIST settled in the three path, progressed four wide turning for home but fanned to the seven path entering the lane, flattened out shortly after and tired between horses. TURNER'S CHARM tossed her head while breaking a step slow, laid off of the pace along the inside, then two wide and between horses into and around the far turn, shifted out from the five path to the eight path leaving upper stretch and failed to factor. LUSTER stalked two wide, yielded between horses when floated to the four path entering the lane then faded while hanging on her left lead. KENSINGTON LANE (IRE) was wrangled under a strong hold while forward early on, tracked under snug restraint three wide, chased around the far turn then faded between horses after floating five wide entering the lane. LOOKIN AT DIAMOND stuttered a step at the start, lacked speed two wide, trailed around the far turn and got outrun.
