Footnotes WHITMORE established a good position in the early stages, was well placed just off the pace, drafted in the two path on the turn, was asked while provided a huge opening at the quarter-pole, came through to take the lead into upper stretch then shook clear under a right-handed whip, drifted out some in the vicinity of the sixteenth-pole under a continued right-handed whip and prevailed under strong urging. CITY OF LIGHT tracked the pace on the far outside, was caught in the six path on the turn, was asked while floating into the seven path entering the stretch, chased the winner under a right-handed whip while still on his inside lead, switched to the proper lead just inside the sixteenth-pole and finished with good courage to just earn the place while unable to reach the winner. LIMOUSINE LIBERAL was asked leaving the gate then moved out while settling off the pace, rounded the turn in the three path, was roused while swinging eight wide into the stretch, came under a right-handed whip outside the furlong marker and finished with good energy to just miss the place. C Z ROCKET pressed the pace between horses, vied in the four path on the turn, was asked near the quarter-pole, chased under a drive into the final furlong and weakened. NO DOZING was asked leaving the gate then taken in hand outside the five-eighths pole, raced towards the back under a snug hold, continued in hand while four wide early on the turn, shifted to the six path around the five-sixteenths, was carried nine wide into the stretch then was put to a strong hand ride, came under a right-handed whip at the furlong marker and lacked the needed response. HEARTWOOD was hustled to the lead, set the pace under pressure while leaning out with his head cocked to the inside, lugged out in the three path while under a strong left-rein grip on the turn, relinquished the lead at the top of the stretch then dropped back under a drive and tired. AWESOME SLEW dropped well behind early, saved ground under urging on the turn, cut the corner into the stretch, was put to the whip at the three-sixteenths, held a reasonable striking position into the final furlong, was crowded a touch along the rail approaching the sixteenth-pole and also lacked the needed response. WARRIOR'S CLUB pressed the pace while loosely between horses, vied in the five path on the turn, dropped back outside the quarter-pole, floated eight wide into the stretch then dropped in a bit and capitulated.
