Chart notes

JUDGE BERN was guided over to the rail well before arriving at the conclusion of the backstretch, got put to a brisk hand ride to keep pace with the front runners on the turn, cut the corner into the lane with the runner up now more in the two path than before, narrowed in during the ensuing furlong, maintained the momentum springing from the eighth pole, finally slipping by in deep stretch to steal the verdict. B C GLORY DAYS secured a forward position after the field had been sent off and running, vied for command at or near the inside for the initial three-quarters, slid towards path two spinning into the lane, inadvertently, as it turned out, providing a window of opportunity for the eventual winner, dug in with determination, mostly from between opponents, desperately clinging to a slim advantage, got nipped in the shadow of the finish line. VODKA LEMONADE pursued the pace from path two in between rivals until the five-sixteenths pole, was just as wide entering the turn, became entangled in a blind switch a few jumps later, was taken in hand and eased back as a means of escape, tipped to the outside in midstretch after becoming free of the previously-described predicament, rallied mildly en route for the show. WHAT'S MY CATEGORY disputed the pace towards path two for the opening six furlongs, continued to do battle from upper to midstretch only now from path three, weakened in the final furlong. TALES OF SARATOGA three wide, began to back away as three-quarters was being rattled off, swung out five wide into the lane on empty and backed away further.
