Chart notes

OPTIMISTIC VALOR prompted the pace two wide, took a narrow lead early on the far turn, kicked clear in upper stretch and held clear under a drive. HE AIN'T NO SAINT broke outwardly shutting off COLTSONTHEADMIRAL and had that one clip his heels soon after the start, stalked the pace from the rail, went two wide while boxed in rounding the far turn, got a clear path in upper stretch and finished willingly. COLTONSTHEADMIRAL clipped heels early then bumped DUEL FUEL while regaining stride, raced well back inside, advanced four wide around the far turn and was along for the show. DOUBLE DAVID settled off the early pace two wide, moved up to bid three wide around the far but came up empty in the lane. DUEL FUEL was bumped early, had the rider stand straight up for no obvious reason early on the first turn, raced two wide off the pace around both turns and lacked a rally while never really clear in the lane. BASTIEN LE BROWN failed to menace while racing three wide. LORD THEO was outrun inside. ASCENDED set the pace along the rail under some pressure from the winner, vied inside of that foe around the far turn and retreated through the lane. STAR DEPUTY played no factor while racing three and four wide.
