Footnotes
DELIGHTFUL CLAIRE showed speed then pressed the pace on the outside, vied in the three path on the turn, took over late on that bend, moved clear at the quarter-pole, drew away under a strong hand-ride in upper stretch, was given one pop of a right-handed crop outside the furlong marker and widened while eased up to prove much the best. METFARDEH settled off the pace, was urged along late on the backstretch, moved from the rail to the three path on the turn, spun into the stretch under a drive and safely secured the place while no match for the winner. IVORY AND EBONY stumbled severely at the start and was off slow, spotted the front a few lengths, settled towards the rear, went around the turn in the four path and improved position to get the show. LOST AND FOUND showed speed then took the advantage outside the five-eighths pole, set the pace under pressure, vied in the two path for most of the turn, lost the advantage while dropping to the rail late on that bend, lost touch with the winner into the stretch and weakened. MY SHERRONA was ridden along off the pace while climbing a touch into the kickback, went around the turn in the three then four path and lacked the needed response. ENDORSE broke out at the start, was well placed down the backstretch, passed the half-mile pole under urging, went around the turn in the four path, moved out in upper stretch and tired. BOLT HOUSE was hustled from the gate, showed speed on the outside, dropped off the pace outside the five-eighths pole, retreated in the five path on the turn and had nothing left. CHAMPAGNE BRUNCH settled off the pace, moved closer under restraint near the five-eighths pole, was asked while inside on the turn, chased into the stretch and retreated. PUTONAHAPPYFACE stood in the gate and was off slow, spotted the front a few lengths, was urged along well off the pace, dropped from the three path to the two path on the turn and was no factor then eased in the stretch but walked off. CONTORTED dropped well back on the outside, went around most of the turn in the five path then dropped to the four path and showed little then was also eased in the stretch but walked off.
