Chart notes

FORTYEIGHTSTRAIGHT, reserved along the inside dropping off the second flight racing to the backstretch, steadily gained momentum inside foes racing into the far turn, shifted out three wide nearing upper stretch, moved to challenge for command in that path midstretch, took over, then went clear late under firm encouragement. WILD ENOUGH tracked just off the pacesetter between foes racing to the backstretch, advanced to challenge nearing upper stretch but proved only second best in the drive. SWIFT KID settled between foes off the second flight, gained position three deep racing into the far turn, was fanned four wide into upper stretch but continued with interest to edge rivals for a share. TIO BLAS, off slowly, was settled along the inside racing to the backstretch, saved ground on the far turn, tipped out three wide racing through upper stretch and improved his position between foes while just missing for a share. GOT FLOFFY broke readily, angled inwards dictating the pace on a comfortable margin to the far turn, turned back challengers to maintain the advantage to midstretch but gave out late. SIERRA CAT angled to the inside tracking the pacesetter as part of the second flight, bid inside the leader in upper stretch but was caught in tight quarters nearing the furlong marker and quickly came up empty. AHMAS settled outside foes racing to the backstretch and failed to menace. GARNETT broke awkwardly, was settled last to the backstretch and failed to menace thereafter. ODESSA GOLD angled inwards to track off the second flight between foes in the opening half but steadily faded racing into the far turn. DR. ALBERT, pulling against restraint while racing four wide into the first turn, was caught wide to the backstretch racing on terms with the second flight and was spent entering the far turn.
