7 Stewards inquiry regarding the start of the race.  #7 Bri’s Boy (Mauricio Malvaez) jumped up leaving the gate but had a fair start. The #2 Vantasticcanaveral (Cesar Vidaurri) came out, and the #5 Remarkable Eli (Desmond Bryan) did come in leaving the gate, squeezing the #3 Man At the Pulpit (Enrique Gonzalez) and the #4 Chickoutthebizz (Ridge Balgobin). Both horses were able to recover quickly, so no change was made to the order of finish.
