Chart notes

PAPA JOEL tracked off the first flight outside foes racing to the backstretch, angled in entering the far turn, shifted to the rail nearing upper stretch advancing inside the pacesetter to challenge that foe nearing midstretch, wrested the advantage and went clear under firm handling. THANK YOU settled outside foes racing three, then four wide into the backstretch, was prompted to advance in that path racing into the far turn, was fanned five wide into the lane but continued with interest outside foes to prevail narrowly for the place honors in time. TIP SHEET, forwardly placed along the rail prompting the pace, conceded the lead racing into the backstretch, switched outside the pacesetter after a half, was urged to press the issue between foes racing into the far turn and weakened in late stages while prevailing for a share. DAHOG angled to the inside early tracking off the first flight, saved ground to the lane and made some mild progress inside foes late. MEILLEUR, urged to terms with the first flight three wide racing to the first turn, was urged clear while angling to the inside racing into the backstretch, set the pace just off the inside to the far turn, dueled for command inside foes, then between rivals into upper stretch and gave out in late stages. UNSPOILED MOMENTS, reserved last to the backstretch near the inside, shifted out in late stages but had no rally. BRANDT, unhurried between foes dropping off the second flight racing to the backstretch, never gained contention. KALEIDOSCOPE KID, in touch with the first flight between foes racing to the first turn, was eased off the leaders approaching the backstretch to track just off those foes, shifted out three wide nearing the far turn while being urged to lodge a brief bid but came up empty racing into upper stretch.
