2nd 9 Shin Forever (USA) 2 C Poor
Hideyuki Mori 121 lbs 8/1 - Led - ridden clear 2 1/2f out - driven when pressed over 1f out - headed 100yds out - no extra closing stages

7th 11 Myriad Love (JPN) 3 F Poor
Koichi Shintani 117 lbs 9/4F - Prominent - ridden 3f out - outpaced 2 1/2f out - weakened from 2f out (post-race vet exam revealed the filly to be exhibiting a slow post-race recovery)
8th 2 Apples And Bananas (IRE) 2 C Elite
Joseph Patrick O'Brien 121 lbs 10/1 - Always in rear (jockey could offer no explanation for the disappointing performance other than the colt did not handle the dirt racing surface; post-race vet exam failed to reveal any significant abnormalities)
9th 4 Cyclone State (USA) 3 C Poor
Chad Summers 121 lbs 3/1 - Midfield - outpaced halfway - soon struggling - eased over 1f out (jockey advised that the colt - which typically travels strongly on the bit during his races - failed to travel at any stage during the event and - in his opinion - was extremely disappointing; post-race vet exam revealed no significant abnormalities)
