Chart notes

BENCH JUDGE in range early outside a rival, went between foes at the seven-sixteenths, chased outside another rival around the turn and into the stretch, bid three deep late, bumped with inner rival and dug in to get up. EXULTATION showed early speed then chased the leader from inside, saved ground around the bend, tipped out and brushed rival in the stretch, bid between late and bumped with rivals on both sides and missed. HARTEL set the pace early while clear, angled to the inside, remained unchallenged to mid-stretch, pressured in the final sixteenth, bumped with the runner-up and got caught in the closing moments. SIGALERT raced inside rivals then checked past the half-mile pole, raced a bit off the rail into the turn, angled three wide leaving the bend and finished willingly to earn a minor award. GALLOPING MISCHIEF stalked off the inside, raced three wide then angled in on the turn, then lacked a rally in the stretch. SHUSTER was in tight and steadied soon after the start, saved ground around the turn, angled out and passed tired rivals. SHOW BUSINESS was in tight between horses and got squeezed early, tracked off the rail then angled in and saved ground through the turn, angled out in upper stretch and offered no response. SQUALOTORO tracked outside rivals early, went between foes in upper stretch and weakened. TURNTHECLOCKTOZERO chased along the inside, steadied past the seven-sixteenths pole, remained inside to the stretch and weakened.
