Footnotes
ASSERTIVENESS raced three wide in pursuit from mid pack, came under coaxing at the five-sixteenths, tipped three to four wide into upper stretch, seized command straightened away and edged clear under a drive to prevail. MIDDLE MARKET settled two to three wide at the tail of the field, came under encouragement with seven-sixteenths to go, spun three wide into upper stretch, closed well and was just up in the final jumps to secure the place honors. READY SET TWIRL grew a bit rank early on off the heels of a rival under restraint and was guided briefly three to four paths off the rail before tucking quickly to the inside into the turn, chased along the inside and then just off the inside coming under urging three furlongs out, angled four wide into upper stretch and offered up a mild kick. LANDMAN FRIDAY got away to an awkward beginning, chased three wide from near the rear of the field, came under coaxing at the three-eighths pole, went seven wide into upper stretch and kicked on belatedly to the wire. DAKOTA COUNTRY chased along the inside coming under a ride with seven-sixteenths to go, continued in the inside route into upper stretch, offered up a mild bid but was outfinished in the late stages. MO GO got away to an awkward start, chased just off the inside in aim of the front, tucked inside into the far turn and came under urging with five-sixteenths to go, spun just off the inside into upper stretch, weakened. KID KREESA coaxed from the start, showed the way in hand just off the inside and then along the inside patiently handled until let out taking the two path into upper stretch, yielded the front straightened away and weakened in the late stages. MAGNI three then two wide through the first turn, chased four wide coming under coaxing at the three-eighths marker, angled five wide into upper stretch and offered no response. HERONEANDONLY coaxed from the gate, chased three then two wide from just off the pace, came under encouragement near the quarter pole, went three wide into upper stretch and tired.
