Chart notes
NORTH COUNTY GUY sat off the pace, angled out around the second turn, came four wide into the stretch, rallied to the front near the sixteenth pole and finished strong under urging. HECK YEAH raced two wide then angled out into the stretch, closed through the final furlong but could was not enough. ACCLIMATE tracked two wide or off the rail, closed in around the far turn, reeled in the leader and quickly took command, led clear into the stretch, overtaken by the winner near the sixteenth pole then held the show. WARD 'N JERRY raced along the inside then moved to the two path, came out into the stretch and summoned a mild rally. BRANDOTHEBARTENDER raced well off the pace along the inside, swung out into the stretch and was eight wide at the top of the lane, showed late effort and closed the gap. INDIAN PEAK broke out and bumped rival at the start, reserved in the early going, raced outside a rival on the backstretch, lacked room in upper stretch, gained a clear path but flattened out. TROPICAL TERROR trailed the field early, advanced three wide on the second turn, was floated out into the stretch and lacked a rally. MARCKIE'S WATER bumped leaving the gate, raced along the inside to the stretch, angled out in the lane and never threatened. MARGOT'S BOY chased off the rail, ranged up three wide into the stretch and faded in the late stages. FLY TO MARS chased along the inside, between foes into the stretch and came up empty. CONO opened up a large advantage early, held a diminishing lead around the far turn, was collared by rival at the quarter pole and folded in the drive.
