Chart notes

SENSEMAKER vied for the lead early then cleared around the turn, set all the pace to the stretch, responded when challenged from outside and held gamely under right-handed urging. PLAY CHICKEN broke in and bumped rival, vied between rivals early then outside SENSEMAKER, dropped back to stalk that rival around the first turn, bid outside in the stretch but could not summon the needed late kick. GOLDINI showed early speed three deep then let the top pair go to the front, angled to the rail around the first turn, waited for room two wide exiting the far turn, shifted to the inside in upper stretch and lacked room along the fence through the final furlong. SWIFT AS I AM sandwiched between rivals at the start, reserved in the early stages near the inside, saved ground into the lane, was impeded by GOLDINI and forced to check in upper stretch, moved off the rail and finished late energy. MY SUMMER DREAM showed brief speed outside a trio of rivals then dropped back and angled from four wide down to the two path on the first turn, tracked outside a rival then came three wide into the lane and lacked a rally. MR. PICKLES broke out and bumped rival at the start, trailed the field early while under a hold, traveled off the inside, three then four wide on the far turn and weakened. FOLLOWING AN INQUIRY, THE STEWARDS DISQUALIFIED GOLDINI FROM THIRD TO FOURTH FOR CROSSING OVER WITHOUT SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE AND IMPEDING SWIFT AS I AM IN UPPER STRETCH, COSTING SWIFT AS I AM A CHANCE AT A BETTER PLACING.
