Chart notes

CANDY MAN ROCKET was prompted three deep between foes to gain a forward placing stalking just outside the pacesetter racing to the backstretch, responded when prompted to challenge for command in that path leaving the midway point of the far turn, took over racing past the quarter mile marker, shifted to the rail in upper stretch, held sway to the end under firm left handed pressure and was observed to have bled from the mouth when returning to be unsaddled. NOVA RAGS raced four wide between foes into the backstretch tracking just off the second flight, angled inwards sharply racing into the far turn to advance along the rail on the second bend, shifted outside the eventual winner racing into the stretch and continued to close the gap while edging a rival for the place honors. HIDDEN STASH was rated off the second flight along the inside, saved ground to the backstretch, then into the far turn steadily gaining position, shifted out four wide entering the lane but continued willingly to gain terms with the top pair nearing the wire. BOCA BOY broke sharply, was urged to set the pace on a narrow advantage racing a bit off the rail racing to the backstretch, briefly resisted the winner's bid while between foes racing through the far turn but gave way nearing midstretch. KNOWN AGENDA settled between foes in the last flight racing to the backstretch, swung out five wide nearing upper stretch and made belated progress. LUCKY LAW (IRE) angled to the inside racing to the first turn to track off the second flight between foes just off the inside, then continued evenly in that path to late stages. JOE MAN JOE was settled inside foes in the last flight racing to the backstretch, shifted out racing into upper stretch but passed only tiring rivals. RICOCHET, caught five wide between racing to the backstretch while prompted to a position just off the second flight, was urged to lodge a brief, four wide bid racing into the far turn but emptied out racing into upper stretch. SMILEY SOBOTKA, urged to a forward placing while angling to the inside racing to the first turn, faded after a half. LAST INVESTMENT, caught six wide racing to the backstretch, never gained contention. MILLEAN settled outside foes in the last flight racing to the backstretch and failed to menace thereafter. RUNWAY MAGIC, caught in close quarters at the start, was collected to race behind the second flight three wide between foes racing to the backstretch but steadily faded into the lane.
